Microfluidics-enabled rational design of immunomagnetic nanomaterials and their shape effect on liquid biopsy

Abstract

Microfluidics brings unique opportunities for the synthesis of nanomaterials toward efficient liquid biopsy. Herein, we developed the microreactor-enabled flow synthesis of immunomagnetic nanomaterials with controllable shapes (sphere, cube, rod, and belt) by simply tuning the flow rates. The particle shape-dependent screening efficiency of circulating tumor cells was first investigated and compared with commercial ferrofluids, providing new insights into the rational design of a particulate system toward the screening and analysis of circulating tumor biomarkers.
