System and methods for cell selection

摘要

A method for producing cells having at least one common optical property, electromagnetic property, or biological property. The cells derived from selected living cells located at particular hole positions on an apertured carrier. The selected living cells are separated from all other cells on the carrier either by removing the selected cells from the carrier, or by removing undesired living cells from the carrier, or by killing undesired living cells on the carrier. The selected cells are growing either on the carrier or after having been removed therefrom.
