PCR 11-3

1. This is a microfluidic device that is capable of separating out T cells from whole blood by affinity chromatography in a simple, low budget setting.
2. While they plan on making this low budget and affordable, how feasible is it to have a microscope in a low budget clinic. This seems like it would make quantification a large challenge.
3. Other methods of quantification other than a microscope, like an automated chip based on fluorescent readings or something. Maybe some other way to collect, label, and quantify captured cells other than a scope.

For some reason I couldn't post this under the blog for the journal club. It is still acting strange for me and I don't know why. This is the only place it would let me post.
