See full text

Disclosed herein are methods and equipment for the optimized selection and isolation, within a respective population, of elements of interest and/or utility for a series of subsequent operations, which can include the phases of: a) identifying, for each particle, at least one of a plurality of characteristic parameters; b) selecting the particles of interest, comparing for each of these the at least one parameter with a respective reference parameter; c) storing, for each of the particles, the at least one parameter identified; d) processing the value of a function of the stored parameter, associating the function with a criterion for selection of the particles of interest chosen from a group of possible selection criteria; e) establishing for each particle a threshold criterion to be used as reference parameter, on a time by time basis according to the result of the processing.
