Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorters: Standing Surface Acoustic Wave (SSAW)-Based Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorter (Small 40/2018)
Graphical Abstract
In article number 1801996, Zhiguo Qu, Tony Jun Huang, and co-workers develop an acoustic-based fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS), in which cells are focused and deflected by standing surface acoustic waves, and are detected with an in-plane optical fiber system. The cell-focusing, cell-detection, and cell-deflection units of the FACS are integrated onto a small chip and work cooperatively to sort mammalian cells with high throughput and biocompatibility.
