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 comprising:
an imaging sensor configured to capture one or more images of a flow stream in a detection field of a flow cytometer; and a processor comprising memory operably coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes instructions stored thereon to determine the physical dimensions of the flow stream from the one or more images and generate a data signal corresponding to the physical dimensions of the flow stream, wherein the processor is configured to automatically adjust one or more parameters of the flow cytometer in response to data signal.
