Abstract
A single cell of yeast was separated from a bulk sample of yeast without ca using damage to the cell. A focused red-laser light beam was used for trapp ing and transporting the cell. A specially designed microchannel separator played an essential role in the success of the separation. (C) 1999 America n Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)05143-8].
