Visible photorelease of liquid biopsy markers following microfluidic affinity-enrichment†
Abstract
We detail a heterobifunctional, 7-aminocoumarin photocleavable (PC) linker with unique properties to covalently attach Abs to surfaces and subsequently release them with visible light (400–450 nm). The PC linker allowed rapid (2 min) and efficient (>90%) release of CTCs and EVs without damaging their molecular cargo.
