Summary Conventional cell sorters produce potentially hazardous microdroplets containing dyes and radiolabeled compounds commonly used to identify and trace subpopulations of cells. Many of these substances are potential toxins, mutagens, or carcinogens constituting a risk to personal associated with the sorting device. The separation of living cells for continued study of cell growth from an “in air” sample stream includes the risk of contamination with microorganisms altering the following cultures. To avoid those risks, we have constructed a new capsular flow cytometer sorter which consists of a small chamber completely encasing the sorting mechanism. Data acquisition, analysis, and processing are accomplished by using a microcomputer-based pulse height analyser.
