The Cell Sorter is based on state-of-the-art measurement technology and automation and works highly efficiently on a small footprint of only 16.3 m². With ultimate precision and at ultra-high-speed the Cell Sorter measures and sorts cells even as thin as 160 µm. Each cell passes through two inspection stations in the measuring unit (sun simulation and inspection of the front side with Blue Eye). According to the results of these measurements, the cells are sorted into respective categories, whereby the parameters of classification can be freely determined. The system is available in two different versions, depending on the required throughput. The Cell Sorter 3000 achieves a throughput of 3,000 cells per hour and has 24 boxes. The Cell Sorter 5000 has 48 boxes and achieves a throughput of 5,000 cells per hour.
