Abstract:
Fluorescent‐magnetic‐biotargeting multifunctional microcapsules (FMBMMs) are designed and fabricated via layer‐by‐layer assembly. It is found that the arginine‐glycine‐aspartate‐modified FMBMMs were capable of sensitively detecting and efficiently isolating approximately 80% target cancer cells within 20 min. More importantly, FMBMMs present a general template for identifying and separating multiple types of cancer cells simply by altering the recognition motif.
