Abstract:
1. A method of identifying at least one component from a plurality of components in a fluid mixture introduced into a flow apparatus, the method comprising: introducing a first flow into a first input channel in the apparatus, said first flow which contains the fluid mixture of the plurality of components; introducing additional flows of buffer solution into a plurality of buffer input channels in the apparatus, said plurality of buffer channels which are disposed on either side of said first input channel; wherein said first flow and said additional flows have a flow direction along a length of the apparatus from one end of the apparatus to another end of the apparatus; identifying and selecting selected components of the plurality of components, using a detector apparatus; emitting a light beam from a laser, said light beam which damages or kills selected components of the plurality of components; receiving said first flow and said additional flows in at least one channel disposed at another end of the apparatus, after operation of said light beam on said selected components.
