Streamlined Workflow for Cell Sorting Using Microfluidics Chip Based Sorter

A growing range of applications need that cells be sorted in controlled conditions. In many cases, there is a need to minimize carryover from sample to sample. Here we demonstrate a streamlined approach to sorting of cells without cross-contaminating successive samples using an integrated approach that uses exchanging sorter components that come in direct contact with sample, sterile source of sheath fluid and a biosafety and aerosol management system to enclose the sorter.
