Glass Microbubbles Labeled with PE-Conjugated Biotin and Schematic of Bouyancy

Caption

(A) Image of glass microbubbles labeled with PE-conjugated biotin. (B) Schematic of buoyancy activated cell sorting (BACS). Surface-functionalized glass microbubbles bind to target cells after a brief rotary mixing (1-3). Cells attached by glass microbubbles float and are separated spontaneously by buoyancy (4).
