DLA samples isolated in nanowells (A): Example of a non-sorted DLA sample showing the presence of cell debris with non-specific staining in PE, FITC and APC channels, making it difficult to identify intact live CTC. (B): Example of sorted DLA sample with the absence of cell debris and a clear indication of live CTC in the nanowells.
