Cover Story: Image-based cell sorting is essential in biological and biomedical research. The sorted cells can be used for downstream analysis to expand our knowledge of cell-to-cell differences. We previously demonstrated a user-friendly image-activated microfluidic cell sorting technique using an optimized and fast deep learning algorithm. In this study, we devised a recently upgraded sorting system. The cell sorting techniques shown on the microscope were implemented as a real system. Several new features were added to make it easier for the users to conduct the real-time sorting of cells or particles. View this paper
