20100330651 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ANAEROBIC ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIAL COMPARTMENTALIZED CULTIVATION - The invention described below relates to an enclosed cell sorting device and methods of using the device. The device is constructed so that the entire process of cell sorting can be conducted under fully anaerobic conditions to retain viability of anaerobic cells before, during, and after cell sorting. This is accomplished by creating an anaerobic atmosphere for the high speed cell sorter and all its components and by the use of airlocks that allow the introduction of anaerobic containers into the chamber containing the sample. | 12-30-2010 |
