Two-way sorting: The dispenser has two sorting paths for true two-way sorting. 6. Biosafety: The low-pressure system does not produce aerosols and does not require a biosafety containment system. The entire sample and sheath fluid paths are disposable, eliminating the need to perform decontamination. 7. Accuracy: The system can place single particles in >90% of wells without the need for operator expertise. 8. Microfluidic Plating: The only microfluidic system that can do both bulk sorting and plating of cells. The NAICS code for this requirement is 334516; the small business size standard is 500 employees.
