Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for label-free particle sorting. Methods according to certain embodiments include measuring light from a sample having label-free particles in a flow stream, generating an image of one or more of the particles from the measured light, calculating image parameters from the generated image of the one or more particles and generating a particle sort decision based on the calculated image parameters. In some embodiments, sorting gates are determined based on image parameters calculated from the particle and ground-truth image classification parameters. Systems and integrated circuit devices (e.g., a field programmable gate array) for practicing the subject methods are also described. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium are also provided.
