Microparticle sorting device and microparticle sorting method

Abstract

To provide a technique capable of forming stable droplets. There is provided a microparticle sorting device including a microchip including a main flow path through which a liquid containing a microparticle flows, a sheath liquid flow path that communicates with the main flow path and through which a sheath liquid flows, and a sheath liquid introduction portion that introduces the sheath liquid, in which the sheath liquid flowing through the sheath liquid introduction portion is vibrated. Furthermore, there is also provided a microparticle sorting method including, in a microchip including at least a main flow path through which a liquid containing a microparticle flows, a sheath liquid flow path that communicates with the main flow path and through which a sheath liquid flows, and a sheath liquid introduction portion that introduces the sheath liquid, vibrating the sheath liquid flowing through the sheath liquid introduction portion.
