Microparticle sorting device and microparticle sorting method

Abstract

A main object of the present technology is to provide a microparticle sorting device and a microparticle sorting method capable of sorting a target microparticle with high efficiency. The present technology provides a microparticle sorting device or the like including a channel structure including a main channel through which a first liquid containing microparticles flows, a recovery channel through which a recovery target particle among the microparticles is recovered, and a connection channel connecting the main channel and the recovery channel; and a control unit that applies a pressure change in the recovery channel and recovers the recovery target particle into the recovery channel, in which the control unit performs a recovery operation Cr of applying a pressure change in a positive direction to generate a pressure vibration PVr in the recovery channel and of recovering the recovery target particle by a pressure change in a negative direction caused by the pressure vibration PVr.
