Chinese researchers have developed an advanced, high-throughput single-cell sorting platform that enables direct isolation of living cells with targeted metabolic profiles from large mutant libraries.

For weaker non-resonance signals, optical tweezers move individual cells into a cell-free buffer stream. This allows for ...

Researchers have discovered a novel criterion for sorting particles in microfluidic channels, paving the way for advancements in disease diagnostics and liquid biopsies. Using the supercomputer ...

Within complex biological samples, the most important cells are often the hardest to find. Identifying, characterizing, and isolating rare or functionally-distinct populations has become central to ...

Channel-Free Single-Cell Sorting in Air with Tunable Paths. Schematic illustration of the in-air microfluidic single-cell sorting platform. Cell suspensions are encapsulated into droplets and ejected ...

Novel laser-fabricated plasmonic chip combines 185 nm Raman resolution and deep learning to identify and sort cancer ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a new method for high-throughput single-cell sorting that uses stimulated Raman spectroscopy rather than the traditional approach of fluorescence-activated ...

Flow cytometry is an established technique for counting and characterising cells, including blood, stem and cancer cells in biomedicine. The principle involves illuminating cells while they pass along ...

Flow cytometry and cell sorting are indispensable techniques allowing for the rapid and quantitative analysis of individual cells within a heterogeneous population. By leveraging laser-based ...

Most cytometers are for analysis only, and are not equipped with sorters. Those that have sorters tend to fall into one of two very broad classes. Flow cytometers equipped with high-speed sorters are ...

The segregation of two cell types at the earliest stages of embryo development may be enabled by differences in their stiffness. Baby picture. During a mammalian embryo’s blastocyst stage (mouse ...
