| 摘要 |
A flow cytometer instrument and method for use thereof is described. The cell injector can receive particles from a sample slurry of particles associated with a biological material, and the cell injector can select particles from the sample slurry for injection into a mass spectrometer detector for the analysis of the individual particle. The spectrometer can have a plasma torch having a center tube being connected to the cell injector to receive the particles, a radio frequency power source and a load coil coupled to the plasma torch to generate and maintain a plasma in the plasma torch for ionizing the received particles, and a mass detector disposed downstream of the plasma torch for receiving ionized particles from the plasma torch and operative for detecting the particles in the sample slurry.
