Abstract

This paper reports an improved method for achieving on-chip parallel sorting of fluorescently labeled bioparticles. We have integrated 8-parallel sheath flow sorters, in which a sample stream is sheathed by two buffer streams to focus the sample stream, into a single chip. Each sorter integrated in the chip successfully sorted fluorescent microspheres and Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells expressing fluorescent proteins with 10-20 ms of flow switching time and an 85-95% recovery ratio.
