In the field of biomedicine, efficiently and non-invasively isolating target cells has always been one of the core challenges. Optical fiber tweezers offer precise and non-invasive manipulation of cells within a medium and can be easily integrated with microfluidic systems. Therefore, this paper investigated the mechanism of cell manipulation using scattering force with optical fiber tweezers. We employed flat-ended single-mode fiber to drive and sort cells and derived the corresponding scattering force formula based on the T-matrix model. A single-mode optical tweezers system for cell sorting was developed, and an optofluidic experimental platform was constructed that effectively integrates the optical system with microfluidic chips. The chip, featuring an expanded cross-channel design, successfully achieved continuous separation of yeast cells (8 similar to 10 mu m in diameter) and polystyrene microspheres (15 similar to 20 mu m in diameter), with a sorting efficiency of up to 86% and maintaining viability in approximately 90% of the yeast cells. Compared to other sorting systems, this system does not require labeling and can achieve continuous sorting with cell viability at a lower cost of instrumentation.
