Abstract: A system for label-free identification and/or classification and/or selection of at least one cell is provided. The system comprises a microfluidic environment configured to be traversable by the at least one cell, an imaging sensor configured to gather imaging information with respect to at least a part of the microfluidic environment, and a processing unit connected to the imaging sensor. In this context, the microfluidic environment comprises at least one sub-environment configured to interact with the at least one cell. Furthermore, the processing unit is configured to detect at least one sub-environment interaction event based on persistence of the at least one cell imaged by the imaging sensor in the temporal domain. In addition to this, the processing unit is configured to identify and/or classify and/or select the at least one cell based on the at least one sub-environment interaction event.
