    摘要: A particle classifier system and a method of training the system are described. The particle classifier system is suitable for classification of particles in a liquid sample, said particle classifier system comprises—an optical detection assembly comprising at least one image acquisition device with an optical axis, the image acquisition device is configured to acquire images of an image acquisition area perpendicular to said optical axis; —a sample device comprising at least one sample container suitable for holding a sample in liquid form; —a translating arrangement configured to translate said image acquisition area through at least a part of said sample container; —a control system configured to controlling said optical detection assembly and said translating unit to acquire images of a plurality of image acquisition areas; —an image analyzing processing system programmed to analyze said acquired images by a method comprising creating objects (sub-images) of individual particles captured by said acquired images, creating stacks of objects of each individual particle, identifying complete stacks of objects comprising at least one object wherein said particle is in-focus, and two objects wherein said particle is out-of-focus, and determining, for each of said complete stacks of objects, a set of values for a set of features of at least N features, wherein N is larger than or equal to 1, and wherein the determination of said values of said set of features involve data obtained from said at least one object wherein said particle is in-focus, and/or said at least two objects wherein said particle is out-of-focus; and —an artificial intelligent processing system programmed to associate said set of values for said determined set of features for each individual particle to a particle classification.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of determining a concentration of a substance in a cell suspension, said method comprising the following steps: —determining the concentration of the substance by: —using the results of absorption measurements performed at n local sample volumes contained at different average chamber heights of a chamber arrangement comprising the cell suspension and local substance concentration in said respective local sample volumes determined based on said respective absorption measurements; —using a substance concentration model comprising local substance concentration as a function of chamber height, and—determining the substance concentration as the infinite chamber height substance concentration using said substance concentration model and the determined local substance concentrations, wherein n is at least 2, such as at least 3, such as at least 4, wherein, optionally, the cell suspension is whole blood and the substance is Hb and wherein the method further comprises determining cRBC based on the determined Hb concentration and a determined Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH). The invention also relates to a system for executing the method.

    摘要: The invention is about an ultrasonic welding-based microfluidic device. It is mainly made of a first element and a second element welded one to the other via at least one structure (10, 10′). The structure (10, 10′) comprises an elongated welded portion for said welding, a welding channel (12, 12′) extending between the first and second elements and along one side of the welded portion, and a draining channel (13) communicating with the welding channel (12, 12′) and the microfluidic path (20, 20′) of the device. The invention is further about a method of manufacturing such a device.
