The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sorting cells. The apparatus for determining the mechanical properties of cells comprises: &#x2014;a microfluidic channel having an inlet and an outlet, the channel being configured to let a fluid containing cells pass therethrough, &#x2014;a means for introducing a fluid containing cells into the channel so as to establish a flow of the fluid within the channel, &#x2014;a cell shape measurement device arranged to obtain information of a deformed shape of a cell deformed due to the flow pattern created by the interaction of the fluid flow with the channel, and &#x2014;an analysis means arranged to use data from the cell shape measurement device to obtain mechanical properties of the cells.
