How Image Activated Cell Sorting Works
Heading: Behind the Scenes: How Image Activated Cell Sorting Operates
IACS integrates microfluidics, imaging, and AI-based analysis to sort cells at remarkable speeds. The process typically involves:
Cells flowing through a microfluidic channel.
High-speed cameras capturing images of each cell.
AI algorithms analyzing morphology and fluorescence patterns.
Sorting cells into different channels based on the analysis.
This combination of automation and visual data allows researchers to isolate rare or morphologically unique cells with precision that traditional methods cannot achieve.
