Pulsed Laser Activated Cell Sorting with Three Dimensional Sheathless Inertial Focusing

Abstract

A pulsed laser activated cell sorter (PLACS) integrated with 3D sheathless inertial focusing sorts cells with high purity at high-throughput using a single layer PDMS channel that can be easily fabricated at low cost. Sort purity of >90% is achieved at a throughput of 10 000 particles s−1 without severe dilution effects from high volume sheath flows.
