Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a cell sorter includes a flow channel which supplies a sample liquid containing particles, a plurality of branch channels connected to the flow channel, an image sensor which has a pixel region covering the flow channel and the branch channels, a determination unit which determines the characteristics of the particles in the sample liquid from a measurement signal of the pixel region, and a separation unit guides the particles in the sample liquid to any of the branch channels based on the determination result of the determination unit.

Claim (Index 18):
The cell sorter of  claim 17 , wherein\n the determination unit determines the fluorescent characteristic amount of the particles based on the measurement signal, the flow channel section in which the cell sorter element is multi-stage arranged has an upstream-side cell sorter element group including one or more cell sorter elements at the upstream side and a downstream-side cell sorter element group including one or more cell sorter elements at the downstream of the upstream-side cell sorter element group, the upstream-side cell sorter element group guides the particles to one of the branch channels based on the first fluorescent characteristic amount by the determination unit, and the downstream-side cell sorter element group guides the particles to another one of the branch channels based on the second fluorescent characteristic amount by the determination unit.
