Abstract

See full text

A micromechanical particle sorting system uses a removable/disposable apparatus which may include a compressible device, a filter apparatus and a cell sorter chip assembly. The chip assembly may include a tubing strain relief manifold and a microfabricated cell sorting chip. The chip assembly may be detachable from the filter apparatus in order to mount the MEMS particle sorting chip adjacent to a force-generating apparatus which resides with the particle sorting system. A disturbance device installed in the particle sorting system may interact with a transducer on the removable/disposable apparatus to reduce clogging of the flow through the system. Using this removable/disposable apparatus, when the sample is changed, the entire apparatus can be thrown away with minimal expense and system down time.
