A method and apparatus for sorting and separating particles from a fluid suspension using gas bubbles. The fluid suspension containing the particles of interest is passed through a channel and interrogated to determine the presence of a particle. If a particle is detected, the fluid is subjected to energy to cause the formation of the bubble downstream of the interrogation point. The formation of the bubble is synchronized with the arrival of the particle and the particle is displaced by the bubble into another channel for collection or further processing. The energy for forming the bubble is supplied by an external laser. The device lends itself to manufacture as a disposable unit and is suitable for sorting and separating cells from a biological specimen.
