Development and Applications of Cell Sorters Based on Hydrodynamic Filtration

Abstract

Cell sorters is one of the key topics of physical research today. Cell sorters can sort cells, and through this process, specific cell types can be distinguished from other cell types contained in the sample based on the physical or biological properties of the sample. The homogeneous cell population obtained after sorting can be used for a variety of applications, including research, diagnostics and therapeutics. Researchers have made significant progress in cell sorters including the design principles optimization design techniques etc. Cell sorters based on hydrodynamic filtration possesses a channel and a sidewall which could be applied in particle transmission. In this paper, the research method, results, main findings in related research about the cell sorters based on hydrodynamic filtration are discussed. Suggestions for the development and application of the sorter based on hydrodynamic filtration are put forward. Overall, this paper could be a useful reference for those who would like to know sorters based on hydrodynamic filtration.
