Cheap and simple: Whole blood spiked with target cells is incubated with (super-)paramagnetic microparticles that bind phenotypic markers on target cells. Under rotation, all cells sediment into a chamber located opposite a co-rotating magnet, and bead-bound target cells are deflected to a designated...
