Based on the flow cytometry technique, cell sorters can isolate and recover one or more cell population(s) according to criteria of size, granularity (cell content) and/or fluorescence (receptor, genetic transformation, cell phase etc.). Cell sorting can be used for anything from the enrichment of a population up to selecting of a given cell type in total purity. The collected cells can be analyzed biochemically, or they can be put back in culture.

The cells of interest are taken from the initial sample (left) and are then sorted according to the selected criteria (right)
