摘要:
A fluid handling and delivery system useful in generating a fluid stream (7) in the flow path (8) of microfluidic device (16). The system comprises a variable volume container (1) having a flexible wall (2) which acts on an amount of fluid (3) within the variable volume container (1) in response to an amount of pressure (4) exerted on the exterior surface (5) of the flexible wall (2) by an amount of gas (6). The amount of pressure (4) exerted on the exterior surface (5) of flexible wall (2) continuously adjusts the volume of the variable volume container (1) to act on the amount of fluid (3) to generate a fluid stream (7) in the flow path (8).
摘要:
A flow cytometer system, comprising a sample injection tube having an injection point through which a sample may be introduced, a sheath fluid container having a bottom end and wherein said sample injection tube is located within said sheath fluid container, a sheath fluid port connected to said sheath fluid container, a first axial motion surface in a nozzle, a second axial motion surface in said nozzle, a limited maximal acceleration differentiation transition area between said first axial motion surface in said nozzle and said second axial motion surface in said nozzle wherein said limited maximal acceleration differentiation transition area is coordinated with said sample so as to be affirmatively limited to not exceed the practical capabilities of said sample over its length and an analytical system which senses below said nozzle.
摘要:
Artificial Insemination is achieved for sexed mammalian offspring in a commercially practical manner and with dosages of insemination sperm which were not previously thought to be practical for commercial implementation. Improved insemination systems particularly adapted to use for sex-selected sperm sorting include systems which achieve superovulation and then multiple embryo production with sexed embryos. These systems combine with other techniques, including techniques for enhanced sheath fluid (3) and other strategies which minimize stress on the sperm cells (18), and potentially, a 2.9 percent sodium citrate sheath solution for bovine species and a hepes bovine gamete media for equine species. Improved collection systems (14) and techniques for the process are describeb so that commercial application of sperm samples as well as the resulting animals may now be achieved in the field.
摘要:
A first amount of sperm of a first animal and a second amount of sperm of a second animal of the same species, the first amount of sperm and the second amount of sperm sex- selected sperm of the same sex, useful in the in-vivo or in-vitro fertilization of an egg of a female animal of the same species of animal for the production of sex-selected embryos and sex- selected offspring.
