    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems for detecting light from a particle in a flow stream by spectral discrimination. Light detection systems according to certain embodiments include a wavelength separator component configured to propagate light between a first set of linear variable optical filters and a second set of linear variable optical filters where each set of linear variable optical filters is configured to pass light having predetermined sub-spectral ranges and a plurality of photodetectors positioned to detect light from each sub-spectral range across the linear variable optical filters. Systems having a light source for irradiating a particle in a flow stream and a photodetector modulator component for binning data signals generated in a plurality of photodetector channels of the light detection system are also described. Methods for detecting light with the subject systems and kits having one or more components for detecting light according to the subject methods are also provided.

    Abstract: A microfluidic sensor formed by stacking a plurality of substantially non-electrically conductive layers, typically formed from thin polymer films. Certain layers may carry patterned electrodes that are arranged to permit their connection to an electrical interrogation circuit. Electrodes may be disposed in a 3-dimensional array in the sensor. A fluid path through the sensor includes an orifice sized to promote single-file travel of particles. The orifice may be defined by a tunnel passing through at least one layer. Particles entrained in an electrolytic carrier fluid may be detected, or otherwise characterized, by interrogation circuitry connected to certain embodiments of the sensor. Sensors generally include portions of a fluid path disposed parallel to the layers. Sensors may operate under the Coulter principle, and/or Stokes' shift phenomena. In certain embodiments, the sensor may be carried by a cartridge, which is adapted to couple with an interrogation platform. In any case, coupling desirably places the sensor in-circuit with operable interrogation structure, as well as with a fluid-flow control device. Structure included in a cartridge may provide fluid sample loading, routing, and storage capabilities.

    Abstract: A flow cytometer including a laser, indexing structure, adjustment structure, and sensor structure. The cytometer is conventionally used with a removable microfluidic cassette, which is installed at a first position that is enforced by the indexing structure. The adjustment structure changes a relative position between an interrogation aperture of the cassette and the laser beam. Feedback from the sensor structure is used to optimize propagation of the laser through the interrogation aperture to reduce (and hopefully eliminate) autofluorescence caused by beam impingement onto the cassette.
