摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the assessment of quantity and quality parameters of biological particles in blood or blood product. The method comprises applying a volume of a liquid sample to an exposing domain from which exposing domain electromagnetic signals from the sample in the domain can pass to the exterior, and exposing, onto an array of active detection elements such as CCD-elements, a spatial representation of electromagnetic signals having passed from the domain, the representation being detectable as an intensity by individual active detection elements, under conditions permitting processing of the intensities detected by the array of detection elements during the exposure in such a manner that representation of electromagnetic signals from the biological particles are identified as distinct from representations of electromagnetic signals from background signals. The enlargement of an image on the array of detection elements is smaller than 10:1.

The invention relates to imaging methods for assessing quality or quantity parameters of particles in a sample, wherein the particles contain less than 106 analyte detectable positions. The method comprises 1) mixing the sample with a targeting species capable of binding an analyte position and a labelling agent, 2) arranging the sample in an exposing domain, allowing electromagnetic signals from the sample to pass to the exterior, 3) exposing a representation of said signals onto an array of detection elements, wherein the representation is subject to a linear enlargement, so that the ratio of the image of a linear dimension on the array of detection elements to the original linear dimension in the exposing domain is smaller than 20:1, 4) detecting the representation as intensities by said detection elements, 5) processing the intensities to identify the particles, and 6) obtaining the quality or quantity parameter.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a system for the assessment cells in a liquid sample. The present method provides individual counts of substantially all the cells in the sample which are susceptible to the method of making cells distinguishable, in a manner whereby it is not necessary to conduct calibrations between assessments of samples with cells from different species within one taxonomic group. This is provided by measuring a part of the cells having substantially identical spatially confined identifiable substances, such as DNA. This makes the method less sensitive to variations in cell size and morphology than prior art methods for cell counting, such as Coulter counting.

The size of the volume of the liquid sample is sufficiently large to permit the assessment of the quantity and quality parameters to fullfil a predetermined requirement to the statistical quality of the assessment based on substantially one exposure.
