Abstract
An image-based classification workflow uses unsupervised clustering to help a user identify subpopulations of interest for sorting. Labeled cell images are used to fine-tune the supervised classification network for a specific experiment. The workflow allows the user to select the populations to sort in the same manner for a variety of applications. The supervised classification network is very fast, allowing it to make real-time sort decisions as the cell travels through a device. The workflow is more automated and has fewer user steps, which improves the ease of use. The workflow uses machine learning to avoid human error and bias from manual gating. The workflow does not require the user to be an expert in image processing, thus increasing the ease of use.
