| In an embodiment, a chip is used for isolating RBC from a whole blood and includes an accommodating space, a porous membrane and a microchannel system.  The accommodating space is configured for containing a whole blood sample including RBC debris.  The porous membrane is disposed at a bottom of the accommodating space and includes a plurality of pores.  A diameter of the pores is larger than a size of the RBC debris and larger than a mean diameter of WBCs and CTCs.  The microchannel system includes a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet and a microchannel.  The microchannel is disposed between and communicates with the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet.  The microchannel is disposed under the porous membrane. |
