<p>A microfluidic apparatus for isolating and imaging or analyzing cells of a cytological specimen includes a substrate and a microfluidic cellular isolation element that includes an outer wall, a channel, a partition member and a receptacle. The partition member is positioned within the isolation element interior, and the receptacle is positioned within the partition member interior. The isolation element is configured such that fluid introduced through the outer wall inlet flows through the channel in a first direction, and the partition member is situated such that fluid flows from the channel into the partition member interior through the partition member inlet aperture in a second direction different than the first direction. The receptacle positioned relative to the partition member inlet to catch and retain a cell carried by the fluid.</p> |
