    • Microfluidic device, apparatus, and method for sorting particles. The microfluidic device comprises a microfluidic channel (11) configured for receiving a microfluidic flow (F) comprising a plurality of particles (1 to 3) having different characteristics, the microfluidic channel (11) having a plurality of output flow channels (12, 13, 15), a first detection means (5) configured for detecting the location of the particles (1 to 3), a plurality of actuation elements (a1 to a16) located along the direction of the microfluidic flow (F) and define a sorting electrode arrangement (EA). The microfluidic device further comprises a control means (6). The control means (6) is configured for receiving signals from the first detection means (5), providing force field profiles (GD1, GD2, GD3) for each of the plurality of particles (1 to 3) wherein each force field profile comprises a plurality of deflection force settings along the direction of the microfluidic flow. Based on the provided force field profiles, the control means further individually addresses the plurality of actuation elements (a1 to a16) for generating a plurality of actuation inducing fields (E1, E2, E2', E3) along the direction of the microfluidic flow (F) wherein the actuation inducing fields is configured to generate the deflection force settings in the force field profiles, wherein the plurality of the force field profiles are different for each different particle and are provided to direct each particle in a gradual manner within the sorting electrode arrangement (EA). The control means is therefore configured for gradually directing at least two different particles simultaneously within the sorting electrode arrangement (EA).
