Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for high speed sorting of objects in a continuous body of fluid. The object can be analyzed within one or more interrogation volumes that allow for simultaneous or time-correlated measurement of the object's properties. A processor can interpret the properties of the object and then measured and then direct the object to one of a plurality of downstream flow paths. In some embodiments, the sorting of the object is based on two or more properties of the object. The sorting process can be repeated to create a network of sorting events.
