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.

主权项

1. A system for automatically localizing a stream position in a liquid flow from a flow cytometer comprising;
a sensor adapted to detect a flow stream position in a first detection field and to generate a first signal representative of the stream position; and a first support stage operationally coupled to the first sensor, wherein the system is configured to automatically adjust the position of the support stage in response to the first data signal corresponding to the spatial position of the flow stream in the detection field.
