Abstract

In this work, we report a high-throughput sorting of C. elegans embryos from a mixed-age worm population in a spiral microfluidic chip for synchronization. Using inertial forces in the spiral chip, C. elegans eggs could efficiently be focused along the inner channel wall and separated out with high sorting efficiency and purity.
