    Abstract: A microfilter comprising a polymer layer formed from epoxy-based photo-definable dry film, and a plurality of apertures each extending through the polymer layer. A microfilter comprising two or more polymer layers formed from epoxy-based photo-definable dry film, and a plurality of apertures or open areas each extending through the polymer layer. A method of forming a microfilter is also disclosed. The method includes providing a first layer of epoxy-based photo-definable dry film disposed on a substrate, exposing the first layer to energy through a mask to form a pattern, defined by the mask, in the first layer of dry film, forming, from the exposed first layer of dry film, a polymer layer having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, the plurality of apertures having a distribution defined by the pattern, and removing the polymer layer from the substrate. Unique filter holder designs and methods appropriate to hold microfilters to collect the rare cells and allow performing assays in the filter holder are provided. The invention also describes the use of the microfilter and filter holder to collect rare cells from body fluids and perform assays. Rare cells collected on the microfilter in accordance with embodiments of the present invention can be used for medical and biological research applications.

    Abstract: Detection of ZAP-70 expression provides important information about disease progression and overall survival in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The invention provides methods for diagnosing CLL in a subject, as well as methods for clearly distinguishing CLL patients with aggressive form of the disease. A consistent number of B cells from patient blood is isolated and lysed to release all of the intracellular ZAP-70 protein. The released ZAP-70 protein is subsequently extracted by immunomagnetic separation followed by detection with fluorescence immunosandwich assay. The ZAP-70 fluorescence signal is measured with Signalyte TM -II spectrofluorometer. The VeriZAP TM assay is a simple, reliable, and reproducible method for quantitative detection of ZAP-70 in patient leukemic cells, and can be used as a prognostic test to distinguish indolent versus aggressive CLL patients.

    Abstract: A luminometer is provided comprising a flow through waveguide and one or more detectors. The flow through waveguide has at least two openings and the sample is free to enter from one opening and exit from the other. The flow through waveguide can be made of material that guides emission light to a bottom end of the flow through waveguide. One or more detectors may be provided which detect the emission light coming out of the bottom of the flow through waveguide.
