There are a million ways to sort cells, each technique having its benefits and limitations. Ideally, sorting should be fast, accurate, and result in undamaged cells that are ready for identification. Most techniques use some kind of tagging and the separation can involve forces that injure the cells, but scientists from MIT, Penn State, and Carnegie Melon have put a twist on an existing sound-based sorting method to make it a lot more practical and efficient.
