System og fremgangsmåde til sortering af materialer under anvendelse af holografisk laserstyring

摘要

The present invention employs a beam steering apparatus to insolate valuable cells (306) from others cells, tissues, and contaminants. In one embodiment, the system balances optical trapping against flow to parallelize cell sorting under the flexible control of computer program-directed traps (305) which differentially manipulate cells based on their composition or labels to direct separation.
