    摘要: A junction field effect transistor (JFET) RF oscillator-detector circuit generates an RF signal for an apparatus for conducting electrical measurements of particles contained in a carrier fluid passing through an aperture in a cytometer flow cell. The JFET oscillator includes a plurality of parallel-coupled JFETs having respectively different VDS vs. IDS characteristics, that are biased to operate at square law detection regions of their respective VDS vs. IDS characteristics. One JFET operates in Class C mode, while the other operates in Class AB mode. An RF resonant circuit is electrically coupled to the JFETs and to the measurement cell, and is operative to establish the frequency of an RF field applied to the measurement cell. An RF load change detection circuit is coupled to the RF resonator circuit and is operative to detect an RF load change associated with a modification of the RF field as a result of a particle within the measurement cell aperture.

    摘要: A droplet travel path monitoring mechanism for a flow cytometer is operative to adjust the droplet break-off point back to an initially calibrated spatial location, in the event of the departure from calibrated timing of gaps in the unsorted fluid droplet stream that have been created by the deflection of charged droplets. In addition, the flow cytometer is operative to monitor prescribed characteristics of deflected droplet streams, and to controllably adjust drop sorting deflection parameters, so as to maintain the deflected travel path of sorted droplets coincident with the opening into a sorted droplet collection container, thereby maximizing collection of all sorted droplets.

    摘要: A method is provided for differentiation of reticulocytes. In addition, the method provides for a concurrent differentiation of leukocyte subpopulations in a blood cell sample by suitable electronic and optical measurements. The method includes exposing a blood cell sample to a reagent system to lyse mature red blood cells and subsequently analyzing reticulocytes in a flow cell by optical analysis. A concurrent differentiation of reticulocytes and leukocytes can be performed using electronic and optical analysis. Th electronic and optical analysis includes light scatter and impedance measurements. This method does not require the use of nuclear stain for differentiation of reticulocytes.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for determining the density and fluid-type of a fluid flowing in a capillary tube, the velocity and viscosity of a blood sample flowing in a capillary tube, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of a blood sample after flow has been brought to an abrupt stop in a capillary tube, and/or the zeta sedimentation rate (ZSR) of a blood sample after flow has been brought to an abrupt stop in a capillary tube. These measurements are accomplished by directing a waveform pulse, such as an ultrasound pulse, at a pre-determined frequency transversely across the capillary tube and sample fluid, and by determining the flight of time of the pulse through the capillary tube and sample fluid and/or the Doppler shift of the echo signals reflecting off cells moving forwardly or transversely within a flowing, or stationary, blood sample.
