Abstract
1956—Seal introduces Millipore filters “for concentrating cancer cells suspended in large quantities of fluid.”1 1957—Del Vecchio et al. extend Millipore filtration to “all specimens, regardless of volume or cell concentration.”2 1964—Seal introduces Nuclepore filters as “a sieve for the isolation of cancer cells and other large cells from the blood.”3 1967—Reynaud and King describe the use of Nuclepore filters for diagnostic cytology.4
