Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sorting particles moving through a closed channel system of capillary size comprises actuators and chambers for selectively generating a pressure pulse to separate a particle having a predetermined characteristic from a stream of particles. The particle sorting system may further include a buffer for absorbing the pressure pulse. The particle sorting system may include a plurality of closely coupled sorting modules which are combined to further increase the sorting rate. The particle sorting system may comprise a multi-stage sorting device for serially sorting streams of particles, in order to decrease the error rate.

Claim (Index 2):
The particle sorting system of  claim 1  wherein the actuator operates to compress fluid in at least one of the first chamber or the second chamber to deflect one of the particles in the stream into one of the first outlet or the second outlet.
