Abstract
A method of identifying at least one component from a plurality of components in a fluid mixture introduced into a flow apparatus, includes: introducing a first flow into a first input channel in the apparatus which contains the fluid mixture; introducing additional flows of buffer solution into a plurality of buffer input channels in the apparatus, the plurality of buffer channels which are disposed on either side of the first input channel; wherein the first flow and additional flows have a flow direction along a length of the apparatus; identifying selected components of the plurality of components using a detector apparatus; emitting a light beam from a laser which damages or kills selected components of the plurality of components; receiving the first flow and the additional flows in at least one channel disposed at the other end of the apparatus, after operation of the light beam on the selected components.
