METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IN VIVO COLLECTION OF CIRCULATING BIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates generally to in vivo collection of circulating molecules, tumor cells and other biological markers using a collecting probe. The probe is configured for placement within a living organism for an extended period of time to provide sufficient yield of biological marker for analysis. In some embodiments of the invention, active attraction of biological markers are provided. A partial or complete analytic/detection assembly may also be integrated with the probe.
