Cell Sorting

Cell sorting is a technique used to separate different types of cells from a heterogeneous mixture based on specific characteristics. It can be based on size, shape, granularity, and intensity of the specific protein or markers,  as well as internal properties like DNA content.  Researchers can isolate a particular type of cell (e.g., immune cells, stem cells, or cancer cells) to study their properties in detail without interference from other cell types.

There are three popular methods for cell sorting, each having its own advantages and applications. We can help you determine the best solution for your specific needs.

The CytoEX Method

  • Scientific Consultation

    Our approach helps us to understand your research and determine the best option for your specific project.

  • Sample Optimization

    We then standardize and optimize your sample preparation protocol. There are many pitfalls when preparing a sample that can significantly affect your results. Such as an instrument clog.

  • Cell Sorting

    A typical sorting process and collection, we bring purified cells along with reports for your record keeping. Ensuring your sorted cells are preserved well is crucial for your downstream processing.

At CytoEX,  it’s our advantage to offer all of these methods to you.

  • Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS)

  • Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting (MACS)

  • Microfluidic sorting
