Centripetal Liquid Dielectrophoretic (cLDEP) Sorting of E. coli The application of centripetal liquid dielectrophoretic (cLDEP) force to flow cytometry particle sorting allows chosen particles to be plucked from a stream at precisely the right moment. The novel technology has been implemented in the 'Kairos' module for ApogeeFlow cytometers and offers the following features:
- High stability: cLDEP force is applied close to the laser for high
timing precision
- Fast: 10x higher speed than other enclosed (non-droplet forming) particle sorting methods
- No moving parts
- Gentle on cells (avoids the high pressures required by droplet sorters)
- Avoids droplet sorter breakoff instability and nozzle problems
- Avoids the sample heating caused by thermal bubble actuator methods
