Microfluidic chips have the advantages of high-performance,
multi-functional, miniaturized and
cost-effective. Since 1990, it has been used in many fields, such as
chemical analysis, cell culture,
bioseparation and so on. Cell sorter is also one of its applications.
The lecture is going to provide
an overview of recent research achievements and applications of
microfluidic chips, especially on
cell sorter. The microfluidic chips cell sorter has the functions
similar with the normal cytometry.
It can be used to count and separate cells. The most popular
application is counting the blood cell.
The principles and functions for each formation of the cell sorter are
analyzed. Finally, its applications
in biological scientific research and further developments will be introduced.
