Abstract
A quasi-soft catcher, a quasi-soft capture device, and a method for using the same are provided. The quasi-soft catcher includes a base and a plurality of protruding structures for capturing at least one target biological particle from a specimen. The protruding structures are regularly arranged on a board surface of the base. Each of the protruding structures includes an outer portion configured to touch the at least one target biological particle and an inner portion that is connected between the board surface and the outer portion, and a structural strength of the inner portion is less than that of the outer portion. The board surface has an interspace region arranged outside of the protruding portions, and the interspace region occupies 20-80% of the board surface.
