Microfluidic Sorting of Cells by Viability Based on Differences in Cell Stiffness
Abstract The enrichment of viable cells is an essential step to obtain effective products for cell therapy. While procedures exist to characterize the viability of cells, most methods to exclude nonviable cells require the use of density gradient centrifugation or antibody-based cell sorting with mo...
