  • Publication number: 20100066880
    Abstract: [Problems] To provide a microchip for cell sorting to obtain the desired cell from a number of cells quickly and accurately by combining the advantages from both methods using the optical tweezer and the liquid supply to the micro channel. [Means for solving problems] A microchip for sorting at least one cell including a base, the base comprising: a cell supply channel for supplying and flowing a liquid containing cells; a cell supply channel including an inlet port in liquid communication with a supply mechanism and a drain port in liquid communication with a drain mechanism; a cell sorting channel intersecting with the cell supply channel at their middle point, the cell sorting channel including an inlet port in liquid communication with a supply mechanism and a drain port in liquid communication with a drain mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20050276456
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cell-operating device comprising a laser light source and a microscope to observe cell sample fluorescently labeled and a camera to take the images of the cell sample that is observed with said microscope and a computer to capture the digital image data obtained by said camera and a group of mirrors comprising electronic control mirrors of which optical axis can be adjusted so that the laser light irradiated from said laser light source can be guided in to said microscope. The computer includes a binarization program for binarizing said digital image data by identifying whether each pixel of said digital image data captures a part of said cell sample according to the fluorescence luminance of each pixel.
