Abstract
Devices for sorting components (e.g., cells) contained in a liquid sample are provided. In certain aspects, the devices include a magnetic separation device and an acoustic concentrator device fluidically coupled to magnetic separation device. Aspects of the invention further include methods for sorting cells in a liquid sample, and systems, and kits for practicing the subject methods.
Claims13
A fluidic device for manipulating components in a liquid sample, the device comprising:
- a) a magnetic separator;
- b) an acoustic concentrator fluidically coupled to the magnetic separator;
- and
- c) a fluid flow channel between the magnetic separator and the acoustic concentrator, wherein the magnetic separator generates a magnetic field that is spatially separated from the acoustic field generated by the acoustic concentrator.

A flow cytometric system comprising:
- i) a flow cytometric sample fluidic subsystem, the flow cytometric sample fluidic subsystem comprising:
- a) a magnetic separator;
- b) an acoustic concentrator fluidically coupled to the magnetic separator;
- and c) a fluid flow channel between the magnetic separator and the acoustic concentrator, wherein the magnetic separator generates a magnetic field that is spatially separated from the acoustic field generated by the acoustic concentrator;
- and ii) a flow cytometer fluidically coupled to the output of the flow cytometric sample fluidic subsystem.
