    Abstract: A microfluidic detection system for micrometer-sized entities, such as biological cells, includes a detector component incorporating a plate with a plurality of opening, the plate separating two chambers, one in communication with a fluid source containing target entities bound to magnetic beads. The openings are sized to always permit passage of the magnetic beads therethrough into a lower one of the chambers and are further sized to always prevent passage of the target entities from the upper one of the chambers. The detector component further includes a magnet positioned to pull unbound magnetic beads through the openings and to capture target entities bound to magnetic beads on the surface of the plate. In a further feature, the microfluidic detection system is configured to pass target molecules through the plate to be bound to a functionalized surface of the lower chamber.

    Abstract: Microfluidic systems and methods are described for capturing magnetic target entities bound to one or more magnetic beads. The systems include a well array device that includes a substrate with a surface that has a plurality of wells arranged in one or more arrays on the surface. A first array of wells is arranged adjacent to a first location on the surface. A second and subsequent arrays, if present, are arranged sequentially on the surface at second and subsequent locations. When a liquid sample is added onto the substrate and caused to flow, the liquid sample will flow across the first array first and then flow across the second and subsequent arrays in sequential order. The wells in the first array each have a size that permits entry of only one target entity into the well and each well in the first array has approximately the same size.

    Abstract: Additive techniques, including a direct-dilution method and a direct-incubation method, are described for isolating target entities in a fluid sample. In some implementations, a volume of a diluent is added to a fluid sample to generate a first mixture. The volume of the diluent added may be sufficient to obtain a specified viscosity of the first mixture lower than a viscosity of the fluid sample. A number of binding moiety-conjugated magnetic beads are added to the first mixture to generate a second mixture. The second mixture is incubated for a time that is sufficient for the binding moiety-conjugated magnetic beads to bind to rare target entities in the second mixture. A portion of the second mixture is injected into a fluidic chamber. A magnetic force is applied to attract the magnetized rare target entities in the second mixture to an isolation surface within the fluidic chamber.
