The capability to sort single cells of interest and to deeply characterize them has greatly added to our understanding of biology and disease states. Indeed, cell sorting has become an indispensable ...

Channel-Free Single-Cell Sorting in Air with Tunable Paths. Schematic illustration of the in-air microfluidic single-cell sorting platform. Cell suspensions are encapsulated into droplets and ejected ...

Stanford Medicine researchers invent an electromagnetic device that can gently sort different types of cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom ...

In the early 1960s, Mack Fulwyler joined the lab of Marvin Van Dilla at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as an engineer to study the effect of fallout radiation from nuclear weapons testing on ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...

An electromagnetic device can gently sort cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a ...
