Scientific Reports 6: Article number: 23946; published online: 04 April 2016; updated: 19 January 2017.

This Article contains errors. In Figure 3c, the y-axis ‘Acoustic compressibility (10⁻¹⁰ Pa⁻¹)’ is incorrectly given as ‘Acoustic compressibility (TPa⁻¹)’. The correct Figure 3c appears below as Figure 1.

The legend of Figure 3 contains errors.

‘Cellular acoustic compressibility versus cell size: MCF7 and MDA show a very similar cell size, 17.3 ± 1.0 μm, but different acoustic compressibility, 3.8 ± 0.3 TPa⁻¹ for MCF7 and 4.3 ± 0.2 TPa⁻¹ for MDA’.

In Figure 5, the y-axis ‘Acoustic compressibility (10⁻¹⁰ Pa⁻¹)’ is incorrectly given as ‘Acoustic compressibility (TPa⁻¹)’. The correct Figure 5 appears below as Figure 2. The figure legend is correct.

In the Results section under the subheading ‘Determination of cellular acoustic compressibility and optical deformability on the same cell’,

“The results obtained here indicate that if one uses an OD threshold-value of ≈11%, the cell identification based on OD introduces an error of 25%; while this error drops to 12% by using AC (threshold ≈ 4.07 TPa⁻¹)”.
