FLOWRATE AND VACUUM CONTROLLED FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A FLOW TYPE PARTICLE ANALYZER

Abstract:

Flow rate and vacuum controlled fluid management systems for flow type particle analyzers, such as flow cytometers, are provided. Aspects of the fluid management systems include a pump modulated sheath fluid subsystem and a vacuum modulated waste fluid subsystem. Also provided are methods of using flow type particle analyzers having fluid management systems of the invention, e.g., in particle analysis applications.
