6 Use a certain machine to separate cells by size, mass and density 5 Eliminating the extracellular matrix may destroy these surface cell components
8 Strain cells out of solution with a membrane 7 This sort of chromatography takes advantage of unique cell surface ligands for separation
9 This machine ($100-200K) uses laser fluorescence to sort cells in an incoming water stream and then separate them into containers using electrostatic coils
