CA 2544564

The invention includes microfabricated filters for filtering fluid samples and methods of enriching rare cells of fluid samples using microfabricated filters of the present invention. The invention also includes solutions for the selective sedimentation of red blood cells (RBCs) from a blood sample and methods of using selective RBC sedimentation solutions for enriching rare cells of a fluid sample. Yet another aspect of the invention is an automated system for processing a fluid sample that includes: at least one filtration chamber that includes a microfabricated filter; automated means for directing fluid flow through at least one filtration chamber of the automated system, and means for collecting enriched rare cells. The present invention also includes methods of using automated systems for separating rare cells from fluid samples.

L'invention concerne des filtres microfabriqués permettant le filtrage d'échantillons de fluides ainsi que des méthodes d'enrichissement de cellules rares d'échantillons de fluides à l'aide de filtres microfabriqués selon la présente invention. L'invention concerne également des solutions de sédimentation sélective de globules rouges sanguins (RBC) provenant d'un échantillon sanguin ainsi que des méthodes d'utilisation de solutions de sédimentation de RBC sélective pour enrichir des cellules rares d'un échantillon de fluide. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'invention concerne un système automatisé de traitement d'un échantillon de fluide qui comprend : au moins une chambre de filtration présentant un filtre microfabriqué ; un moyen automatisé permettant de diriger un débit de fluide à travers au moins une chambre de filtration du système automatisé et un moyen de collecte de cellules rares enrichies. La présente invention concerne en outre des méthodes d'utilisation de systèmes automatisés pour séparer des cellules rares provenant d'échantillons de fluides.
