A simple method for taxon-specific purification of diatom frustules from ocean sediments using a cell sorter

Abstract It is necessary to purify diatom frustules by taxon to perform accurate geochemical analyses of diatom fossils preserved in sediments. However, the small size of diatoms has hitherto prevented taxon-specific purification; therefore, previous geochemical analyses of diatom frustules have bee...
