MEMS-based cell sorting now commercial reality


Innovative Micro Technology’s MEMS cell sorting chips are now seeing real-world application, with Owl Biomedical commercially launching its benchtop cell sorters.

The IMT cell sorting technology integrates optics, 3D microfluidics and electromagnetic actuation, and diverts targeted cells to be separated from materials like blood or bone marrow.

Cell sorting is used in research laboratories to enable the treatment of cancer, develop regenerative medicines and diagnose disease and chemotherapy efficacy. Once the cells are isolated, they can then be repaired and healed.
