Cellular biology research has benefitted from the technological                 advances made in cytometry.  This company will utilize its patented             "fluid resistor" to produce an instrument with microchannels and valves         small enough to sort cells individually.  This will allow not only              fluid sorting but also stopped-flow image analysis of individual cells.         Potentially this instrument will be less expensive than current cell            sorters because less costly light sources can be used if the analysis           time can be increased.  That would make this important technology               available to more research facilities.  Phase I will consist of                 improving the geometry of the channels, decreasing valve cycle time,            and testing the system using particles and cells.
