Abstract
Separating cells from a heterogeneous sample on microfluidic devices is a very important unit operation in biological and medical research. Microfluidic affinity cell chromatography is a label-free separation technique, providing ease of operation, low cost, and rapid analysis. In this chapter, protocols for cell affinity separation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–glass microdevices and glass capillaries are described.
