A highly sensitive microfluidic system to capture circulating tumor cells from whole blood of cancer patients is presented. The device incorporates graphene oxide into a thermoresponsive polymer film to serve as the first step of an antibody functionalization chemistry. By decreasing the temperature, captured cells may be released for subsequent analysis.
