Abstract
A sorting device () is disclosed comprising a channel () adapted to allow passage of a plurality of samples in a fluid to a first side of a sorting junction () and a plurality of Braille valves () connected by a plurality of connectors to the sorting junction (). An analysis device (), such as a camera, is used for analysing ones of the plurality of the samples and adapted to control ones of the plurality of Braille valves depending on properties of the analysed ones of the plurality of the samples.
