    摘要: A method, system and apparatus for anti-sorting particles is disclosed. In an example embodiment, particles move in a fluid along a microfluidic channel. A measurement device determines which particles are selected or desired particles by measuring a desired characteristic of the particles and outputting an associated signal. The energy source continuously imparts a force on unselected or undesired particles in a deflection region of the microfluidic channel to remove the unselected or undesired particles from the stream of particles. Based upon the signal outputted by the measurement device, the energy source is controlled to reduce or eliminate the force on selected particles such that the selected particles flow on a natural or expected flow path to a collection area such as an output channel. By avoiding application of force to desired particles, the anti-sorting systems and methods can improve viability and other characteristics of the desired particles.

    摘要: There is provided a particle sorting kit including a filter unit, which has a small amount of particle loss at a connection portion between a tube through which a sample liquid flows and the filter unit and functions even at a low flow rate.
    There is provided a particle sorting kit including a sample accommodation unit for accommodating a sample liquid containing particles, a sample flow path through which the sample liquid flows, a detection region in which a target particle is detected from the sample liquid, and a filter unit including a filter and a fitting portion that fits to an outer diameter of a tube for connection with the sample accommodation unit and/or the sample flow path, in which the fitting portion includes a protrusion that protrudes in the tube direction.
