摘要:
Apparatus and methods for detecting, characterizing, and compensating motion-related error of moving micro-entities are described. Motion-related error may occur in streams of moving micro-entities, and may represent a deviation in and expected arrival time or an uncertainty in position of a micro-entity within the stream. Motion-related error of micro-entities is observed in a flow cytometer, e.g., as pulse jitter, and is found to have a functional dependence on a parameter of the system. The pulse jitter can be compensated, according to one embodiment, by adjusting data acquisition observation windows. For the flow cytometer, a reduction of pulse jitter can improve measurement accuracy, resolution of doublets, system throughput, and enable an increase in an interrogation region for probing the micro-entities.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present disclosure generally include a method and apparatus for performing cytometry. Specifically, embodiments of the invention comprise apparatus for providing a sample fluid to a cytometry system comprising a cytometry chip and a holder. The cytometry chip is for channeling a sample fluid from a sample fluid port to an output channel. The holder is configured to retain the cytometry chip within the holder. The holder comprises an interface between the cytometry chip and at least one of a source of the sample fluid, a source of a sheath fluid or a source of electric charge. Embodiments of a method comprise using the apparatus to provide a sample fluid to a cytometry system.
