Abstract
A capturing of target cells from a biological sample is achieved by inducing a flow of the biological sample in a flow channel () of an upstream microfluidic device (). Target cells present in the biological sample are captured in cell channels () of the upstream microfluidic device (). Once at least a minimum number of target cells are captured in the cell channels (), the flow of the biological sample in the flow channel is reduced and are verse flow is applied at the upstream microfluidic device () to release the target cells captured in the cell channels () of the upstream microfluidic device () and enable transfer the target cells into cell channels () of a downstream microfluidic device ().
