High Throughput Screening & Sorting of Viable C. elegans

While C. elegans have been shown to provide significant information about the human genome, researchers have historically been limited in the size and type of their experiments because of time-consuming manual sorting steps. Using a high-throughput, automated screening and sorting system, several experiments were conducted on separate C. elegans populations. Both multi-parametric and positional fluorescence information (as shown to the right) were used, enhancing sorting sensitivity and offering increased analytical capabilities. (read more)

The product utilized in this experiment was the COPAS BIOSORT, a high-speed flow system that analyzes and sorts small model organisms. Equipped with two lasers, the system uses physical parameters of size and optical density as well as fluorescence to enable users to sort by development stage, phenotype, or genotype.
