The invention relates to a Raman activated
cell sorting
system coupled with micro-fluidic and Raman
optical tweezers and a method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
cell sorting, the
system comprises a micro-fluidic
chip with low Raman and
fluorescence background noise and a pneumatic micro-valve; in the micro-fluidic
chip, a sample channel and a micro-cavity are connected with a
main channel, and a flow guide channel is connected with the micro-cavity; the flow guide channel and the collecting channel are connected through a pneumatic
micro valve. After the pneumatic
micro valve is closed, the fluid in the micro cavity is static, and a narrow sample flow is formed in the
main channel. And when the Raman
collection time is less than the
time difference of two adjacent cells flowing through the capturing point of the
optical tweezers in the narrow sample flow, high-flux Raman detection can be performed in the narrow sample flow. On the contrary, the target cells can be moved out of the narrow sample flow, and high-precision Raman detection in a long Raman collection scene can be realized. After sorting is completed, fluid flowing of the
main channel is stopped, the pneumatic
micro valve is opened, the cells stored in the micro cavity are released and collected in a unified mode, the
cell suspension volume is more stable and uniform, and follow-up experiment operation is facilitated.
