Cell Sorting
Definition 1
Techniques and methods for separating cells (usually viable) based on a variety of criteria for separation, such as size or density, non-specific surface properties, or specific surface properties. Examples include cell affinity chromatography and centrifugation using density gradients. (NCI Thesaurus)

applies only to artificial, usually extracorporeal techniques; for natural, in vivo processes, use CELL MIGRATION. (NIH CRISP Thesaurus)
