Abstract

A system and a method for sorting particles are provided. An example of a particle sorting system includes an array that includes a number of microfluidic ejectors. An optical sensor is focused on the array. A controller is used to identify a target particle proximate to a microfluidic ejector, and activate the microfluidic ejector to eject the target particle into a collection vessel.
