Ph: +86 (0) 592-218 7601Controllable assembly and disassembly of recognition interface are vital for bioanalysis. Herein, we proposed a strategy of dynamic manipulation of trapping force by engineering a dynamic and reversible immunoaffinity microinterface (DynarFace) in a herringbone chip (DynarFace-Chip) for liquid biopsy. The DynarFace was assembled by magnetically attracting immunomagnetic beads (IMBs) on chip substrate, with merits of convenient operation and reversible assembly. The DynarFace allowed accumulating attachment of IMBs on circulating rare cell (CRC) surfaces during hydrodynamically enhanced interface collision, where accumulatively enhanced magnetic trapping force improved capture efficiency towards CRCs with medium expression of biomarkers from blood samples by 134.81% compared with traditional non-dynamic interfaces. Moreover, magnet withdrawing-induced disappearance of trapping force afforded DynarFace disassembly and CRC release with high efficiency (>98%) and high viability (~ 98%), compatible with downstream in vitro culture and gene analysis of CRCs. This DynarFace strategy opens a new avenue to accumulated capture and reversible release of CRCs, holding great potential for liquid biopsy-based precision medicine.
