    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a channel, a reagent chamber, a synthetic jet channel, and an energy source. The channel is to hold a cell. The reagent chamber is coupled to the channel and stores a reagent. The synthetic jet channel is coupled to the channel and the reagent chamber. The energy source is located in the synthetic jet channel to heat a liquid in the synthetic jet channel to create a synthetic jet that carries the reagent through towards the cell to inject the reagent into the cell.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a cell preparation system is described. The cell preparation system includes a fluidic channel to transport cells in single file past multiple detection devices. The cell preparation system also includes a series of detection devices. Each detection device includes 1) a constriction to deform a cell found therein and 2) a sensor to measure a state within the constriction. The cell preparation system also includes a controller. The controller analyzes outputs from multiple sensors to 1) verify a single file transport of cells through the system and 2) identify a cell that passes through the fluidic channel.

    Abstract: For some examples, an apparatus to effect particle separation may include a dielectrophoretic particle separator that may separate particles within a focused particle stream. The dielectrophoretic particle separator may apply an electric field to the particles. An imaging system may capture images of the particles passing through a separation region of the dielectrophoretic particle separator. An image processing and control system may process the images to obtain information regarding the particles and may adjust an operating parameter of the dielectrophoretic separator based upon the information regarding the particles.

    Abstract: An example apparatus comprises a thermal cell lysis chamber, including a substrate and a lid coupled to the substrate to form a microfluidic channel therethrough. The apparatus includes cell detection circuitry to detect presence of a cell within the microfluidic channel and to detect lysis of the cell. The apparatus also includes a thermal lysing element disposed in the lid to apply heat to a cell detected by the cell detection circuitry, and lysis control circuitry. The lysis control circuitry is to regulate a temperature applied by the thermal lysing element, based on detection by the cell detection circuitry of a cell within the microfluidic channel and based on detection by the cell detection circuitry of a lysis event, and record the temperature applied by the thermal lysing element at which the lysis event occurred.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a cell sorting device is described. The cell sorting device includes a microfluidic channel to serially transport individual cells from a volume of cells along a flow path. A sensor disposed in the microfluidic channel distinguishes between a cell to be analyzed and waste fluid. The cell sorting device includes at least two fluid transport devices disposed within the microfluidic channel. The at least two fluid transport devices include a cell ejector to, responsive to detection of a cell to be analyzed, eject the cell to be analyzed from the cell sorting device and a waste transport device to direct the waste fluid to a waste reservoir.
