Abstract
A filtration method for filtration of nucleated cells that includes providing a filter containing at least one of a metal and a metal oxide as a major component thereof and having a plurality of through-holes therein, and passing a liquid containing the nucleated cells through the filter. The diameter of an inscribed circle of each of the plurality of through-holes is smaller than the size of the nuclei of the nucleated cells, and the inscribed circle of each of the plurality of through-holes touches all sides defining an opening of the through-hole.
Claims8
A method for filtration of nucleated cells, the method comprising:
- obtaining a size of nuclei of the nucleated cells to be filtered;
- selecting a filter based on the obtained size of the nuclei of the nucleated cells to be filtered, the filter comprising at least one of a metal and a metal oxide as a major component thereof and having a plurality of through-holes therein, each of the plurality of through-holes having a square shape, wherein the selected filter has a diameter of an inscribed circle of each of the plurality of through-holes that is smaller than the size of nuclei of the nucleated cells to be filtered, the inscribed circle of each of the plurality of through-holes touching all sides defining an opening of the through-hole;
- and
- passing a liquid containing the nucleated cells through the filter.
