CELL SORTING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

Apparatus and method for sorting cells is provided in which two or more cells are delivered along a flow path, the two or more cells including a first type of cells having a first mechanical stiffness and at least a second type of cells having a second mechanical stiffness different from the first mechanical stiffness. A reflection surface is provided across the flow path at an oblique angle relative to the flow path and configured to reflect the cells at different reflection angles relative to the flow path dependent on the mechanical stiffness of the cells.
