Abstract
A heterogeneous population of cells are separated and collected according to a method. The heterogeneous population of cells in a paramagnetic medium are placed in a fluidic channel in which the fluidic channel comprises two or more outlets. The heterogeneous population of cells in the fluidic channel are separated based on differences in magnetic susceptibility and density of the heterogeneous population of cells. Fluid comprising the separated cells is withdrawn from the two or more outlets using variable flow rates by fluidic pumps at respective ones of the two or more outlets simultaneously to fractionalize the fluid comprising the separated cells across the two or more outlets by manipulation of the variable flow rates relative to one another.
