Claim 0:
1. A microfluidic chip, comprising:
a separation unit comprising nanoscale deterministic lateral displacement arrays in fluid communication with an inlet bus formed around a perimeter of a first side of the nanoscale deterministic displacement arrays;
an outlet bus formed on a second side of the nanoscale deterministic displacement arrays opposite the first side, wherein the nanoscale deterministic displacement arrays are configured to laterally displace particles of interest comprised within a sample fluid supplied from the inlet bus and direct the particles of interest into the outlet bus; and
a detection unit comprising a sensing element configured to facilitate detecting presence of one or more biomarkers associated with the particles of interest, wherein the outlet bus surrounds the detection unit and supplies the particles of interest onto the sensing element.
