Abstract :
We demonstrate an automatic optical sorting technique that combines video image analysis, pattern recognition, and adaptive optoelectronic tweezers (OET) actuation on a continuously moving chip. This tool is capable of sorting cells and particles according to their visual characteristics at the single-cell level
