An example device includes a first microfluidic channel in communication with a fluid reservoir to receive cell-containing fluid from the fluid reservoir. The device further includes a second microfluidic channel in communication with the fluid reservoir to receive cell-containing fluid from the fluid reservoir. The device further includes a first sensor disposed at the first microfluidic channel, a second sensor disposed at the second microfluidic channel, a first dispense nozzle disposed at an end of the first microfluidic channel, and a second dispense nozzle disposed at an end of the second microfluidic channel. The first microfluidic channel is shaped to convey cells of a first size range, and the second microfluidic channel is shaped to convey cells of a second size range that is different from the first size range.
A device comprising:
A device comprising:
A device comprising a controller to electrically connect to a dispense head that includes a plurality of microfluidic channels, the plurality of microfluidic channels having different cell-size selectiveness, the controller to select an active dispense nozzle of the plurality of microfluidic channels based on a sensed characteristic of flow of cell-containing fluid in the plurality of microfluidic channels, the controller to dispense cell-containing fluid from the active dispense nozzle.
