Cell sorters are advanced flow cytometry instruments designed for the automated separation and collection of specific cell populations based on defined characteristics such as size, granularity, and expression of surface or intracellular markers. These systems are indispensable in immunology, oncology, stem cell research, regenerative medicine, and biotechnology, offering high-purity cell isolation for downstream applications.
Using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), cell sorters analyze thousands of cells per second while simultaneously identifying and sorting those that meet pre-set criteria. Cells are labeled with fluorescently conjugated antibodies that bind to unique biomarkers. As cells pass through lasers, detectors measure light scatter and fluorescence, triggering an electrostatic charge that guides target cells into specific collection tubes.
Cell sorters are widely used to isolate T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, cancer stem cells, engineered CAR-T cells, and other rare populations. Sorted cells can be collected for applications such as cell culture, gene expression analysis, sequencing, functional assays, or therapeutic manufacturing. This precision enables scientists to study heterogeneous populations at the single-cell level or prepare samples for highly targeted workflows.
Modern sorters support multi-laser, multi-color analysis, with software capable of real-time gating, population analysis, and event tracking. Features may include temperature-controlled sort chambers, aerosol management, and closed-system sterile sorting for clinical or GMP-compliant workflows.
