High-speed drop sorters may continue to increase in speed, although the high pressures required in these sorters may have reached their limit in terms of the viability of the sorted cells. Optical sorting (by using a laser to inactivate unwanted cells or chromosomes) may... 

Common misuse We often hear non-scientists say such things as The car was going at a high rate of speed. This is redundant at best, since it merely means The car was moving at high speed. It is the sort of mistake made by people who don t think while they talk. 

Danfoss VisionSensorQueCheck system was developed for manufacturers whose products have to be checked, inspected and sorted at high speed. Using this system the lengths of components on a conveyor belt can be determined and out-of-spec components rejected.
