摘要:
The present invention provides a system and method for determination of a medical condition, the system including a disposable cartridge adapted to receive a volume of a body fluid, the cartridge comprising a plurality of sections, at least one of the sections adapted to react at least one reactant with the bodily fluid to form a pre-treated sample; and an optics unit comprising at least one excitation illumination adapted to convey radiation to the pre-treated sample, at least one multi-spectral emission detector and at least one of a photon counter and an integrator, wherein the at least one excitation illumination and the at least one multi-spectral emission detector are disposed on the same side of the cartridge; and wherein the optics unit is adapted to detect a plurality of spectrally distinct signals generated by interaction of the radiation and the pre-treated sample in the cartridge, thereby determining said medical condition.
摘要:
Determining total particle emission of a flow cytometer particle by passing laser excitation energy into a generally perpendicular flow cytometer channel element through which a particle passes, the particle adapted to be irradiated and to emit a fluorescent emission responsive to the laser excitation energy, where the fluorescent emission results from a geometrical convolution of a geometrical form of the laser excitation energy and a geometric characteristic of a fluorescent emission of the particle, detecting any of the fluorescent emission, outputting an analog electrical emission, providing multiple time samples of the analog electrical emission, and processing the multiple time samples to calculate a total fluorescent emission of said particle, by determining the extent of said geometric convolution and fitting said time samples to a function of a same extent.
