1. A cell flow system comprising:
a flow channel configured to transport a cell through the flow channel;
a plurality of sub-channels in fluid communication with the flow channel via a sorting junction;
at least one sensor operatively coupled to the sorting junction, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to detect an actual arrival time of the cell at the sorting junction; and
a processor configured to:
(1) analyze (i) the actual arrival time of the cell at the sorting junction and (ii) a predicted arrival time of the cell at the sorting junction; and
(2) control an operation of the cell flow system based on the analysis in (1).
