摘要: The enumeration of cells in fluids by flow cytometry is widely used across many disciplines such as assessment of leukocyte subsets in different bodily fluids or of bacterial contamination in environmental samples, food products and bodily fluids. For many applications the cost, size and complexity of the instruments prevents wider use, for example, CD4 analysis in HIV monitoring in resource-poor countries. The novel device, methods and algorithms disclosed herein largely overcome these limitations. Briefly, all cells in a biological sample are fluorescently labeled, but only the target cells are also magnetically labeled. The labeled sample, in a chamber or cuvet, is placed between two wedge-shaped magnets to selectively move the magnetically labeled cells to the observation surface of the cuvet. An LED illuminates the cells and a CCD camera captures the images of the fluorescent light emitted by the target cells. Image analysis performed with a novel algorithm provides a count of the cells on the surface that can be related to the target cell concentration of the original sample. The compact cytometer system provides a rugged, affordable and easy-to-use technique, which can be used in remote locations.

摘要: A method for removing excess unbound ferrofluid and imaging immunomagnetically enriched circulating tumor cells is provided. A vessels having a preformed grooves in the viewing surface is optimally designed for cell alignment and imaging. After separating the unbound particles by centrifugation, an externally-applied force is applied to transport magnetically responsive particle-CTC complex toward the transparent collection wall. The grooved inner surface of the viewing face of the chamber provide uniform distribution of the particles for easy imaging. The invention is also useful in conducting quantitative analysis and sample preparation in conjunction with automated cell enumeration techniques as in quantitative analysis of CTC in disease.
