    Abstract: An interface for a mass spectrometer system is provided. The interface can include an inner ceramic tube fabricated from a first ceramic material and an outer tube fabricated from a second ceramic material surrounding the inner ceramic tube. The inner ceramic tube can have high electrical resistivity and high thermal conductivity and the intermediate ceramic tube can have an electrical resistivity that is at least an order of magnitude higher than the electrical resistivity of the first ceramic material and a thermal conductivity that is at least an order of magnitude higher than the thermal conductivity of the first ceramic material.

    Abstract: A chromatographic optical detection system includes an optical detector disposed to receive light scattered from a stream of particles and configured to convert the received light to an electrical signal; a signal-processing unit in signal communication with the optical detector to receive the electrical signal, and configured to convert the electrical signal to digital pulses and count the digital pulses to output a first signal corresponding to a number of particles detected in a time interval, and configured to integrate and digitize the electrical signal to output a second signal corresponding to the number of particles detected in the time interval; and a data station in signal communication with the signal-processing unit, and configured to select the first signal, if the number of particles detected in the time interval is less than a threshold criterion, and to select the second signal if the number of particles detected in the time interval exceeds the threshold criterion. The threshold criterion is associated with a saturation condition.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing a response of a cellular entity to a component of interest are described. The cellular entity may be a cell or an organoid. The method includes processing a heterogeneous population of cellular entities that are combined with the component of interest. An entity flow containing the cellular entities is generated. A morphological image of a portion of the entity flow having a cellular entity is acquired and the cellular entity is identified as belonging to an entity class. The entity flow is provided to a mass spectrometer system that performs an analysis of the cellular entity. The mass spectrometer analysis of the cellular entity can be correlated with the identified entity class. Alternatively, portions of the entity flow are deposited as samples on a sample plate and the mass spectrometer analysis is performed offline, for example, using an ionization process with each sample.
