Abstract

Liquid biopsies allow DNA shed from tumours to be detected using blood tests without invasive and expensive surgery associated with traditional tissue biopsies. Despite these benefits, liquid biopsies remain a challenging assay to be deployed in primary oncology care as the main cancer diagnostic or screening tool, because tumour DNA is not always detectable. This poor sensitivity is largely due to the presence of a vast amount of genomic background DNA which masks the tumour DNA signal. Here we present a mixing-free approach towards the automated on-chip enrichment of circulating tumour DNA, that has the potential to reduce sequencing costs and enable point-of-care detection of mutations.
