Electrical sorting of caenorhabditis elegans

Researchers working on Caenorhabditis elegans (worm) animal model routinely need to obtain large populations of synchronized animals for various genetic, genomic and biochemical experiments. Current methods of sorting and synchronization are time consuming (due to staging embryos and larvae for a desired period of time), expensive (if carried out by means of a robotic equipment), and gene expression-based (such as green fluorescent protein …
