تراشه سلول ها را با امضای الکتریکی آنها شناسایی می کند، سپس آنها را با یک موج صوتی دقیق از هم جدا می کند

Chip identifies cells by their electrical signature, then separates them with a precisely aimed sound wave

In biomedicine, sorting cells accurately without damaging them remains a persistent problem. Current methods, like fluorescence-activated cell sorting, rely on labeling the cells extrinsically, which can stress the cells, alter their behavior and even interfere with the assay. A collaborative study between researchers in Singapore and China has now developed a noninvasive, label-free method to sort cells.
