Automated set-up for cell sorting

摘要

Apparatus and methods are described for automatically performing set-up steps for flow cytometry operations. The invention provides for the spatial determination of a flow stream and the subsequent automatic alignment of analysis devices and/or collection vessels. The automatic determination of flow stream properties provides for the automatic configuration flow cytometer parameters.

1. A system for configuring a flow cytometer, the system comprising: non-transitory computer readable medium comprising,
instructions for capturing one or more images of a flow cytometer flow stream in a detection field; an algorithm for determining the presence or absence of the flow stream in the captured image; an algorithm for assessing a parameter of the flow cytometer inputted by a user that comprises a data signal that the flow stream is expected to be absent in the captured image; and instructions for generating an alert indicating in the case wherein the parameter inputted by the user and the captured image do not match.
