High‐throughput laser‐mediated in situ cell purification with high purity and yield

Abstract

In situ laser-mediated purification was achieved with nonadherent and adherent cells on the automated laser-enabled analysis and processing platform. Closed-loop processing routinely enabled greater than 99.5% purity with a greater than 90% cell yield in sample sizes ranging from 10(1) to 10(8) cells. Throughput ranged from approximately 10(3) to 10(5) total cells/s for contaminating percentages ranging from 99% to 0.1%, respectively.
