Recent advancements in live cell sorting technology have addressed some of these challenges:
1. Microfluidics: The integration of microfluidic devices in cell sorting allows for more precise control of cell manipulation, reducing stress and improving viability. 2. High-throughput Systems: Newer systems can process larger numbers of cells more quickly, facilitating large-scale studies. 3. Label-free Sorting: Techniques such as dielectrophoresis and acoustophoresis enable cell sorting without the need for fluorescent markers, preserving cell integrity.
