A single cell or a homogeneous population of cells is isolated from a complex mixture, with the help of cell sorting, which makes it an important process in biological research. To separate the cells depending on their immunophenotypic or specific functional characteristics, cell sorting works as an analytical process with the use of techniques such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Depending upon the physicochemical properties of the cells, including light scatter properties, pH, electrical impedance, volume, and density, the cells can be isolated. Thus, cell sorting helps in analysis and experimentation in fields such as immunology, oncology, infectious diseases, and regenerative medicine.
The graph represents the percentage of autoimmune diseases registered in the year of 2024. It indicates that there will be a rise in autoimmune or immunological disorders. Hence, it increases the demand for cell sorting for the effective management of these diseases. Thus, this in turn will ultimately promote the market growth.
With the help of AI integration, various parameters of cell sorting can be enhanced. This, in turn, helps in the development of an AI-assisted cell identification and sorting system on a chip. This system enables for identification and transportation of target cells from a mixture solution. Thus, this AI-assisted arithmetic model helps in locating the position of the target even in the presence of obstacles, helping in sorting the interest cells. Moreover, switchable multiple holographic fields are also generated as they consist of dynamic concurrent manipulations, and the trapping light field is modulated by the SLM. Thus, with the help of AI, automated cell-sorting techniques can be developed.
Growing Developments
Increasing diseases are increasing the use of cell sorting in research being conducted. This, in turn, causes a rise in the development of cell sorters to enhance their applications. Hence, the development of microfluidic-based systems, along with the automated cell sorters, increases. Furthermore, cell sorters integrated with AI are also being developed. All these developments enhance the purity, as well as the speed of the process. Moreover, this leads to their use in the field of stem cell analysis, as well as in cell therapies to rise. Thus, all these developments drive the cell sorting market growth.
Complex Procedure
Cell sorting involves complex procedures, due to which the need for skilled personnel rises. At the same time, the setup, calibration, and interpretation of the instrument and data, respectively, increase their need. Moreover, due to multiple steps, the process becomes time-consuming, as well as increasing the risk of contamination of the cells. Thus, these factors make the process more complex.
Increasing Research
The research on various diseases is increasing due to their growing incidence. This, in turn, increases the use of cell sorting for enhancing the research. It helps in isolating the cell, which is further studied for various characteristics, as well as drug responses. At the same time, it can also be used in diagnosis, drug discovery, and biomarker discovery. Furthermore, growing research in chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes is also increasing their use for the development of personalized or CAR-T therapies. Thus, all these factors promote the cell sorting market growth.
