METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMING DROP DELAY USING SCATTER SIGNALS ACROSS SPATIALLY SEPARATED LASERS
Last updated:
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for determining drop delay of a particle in a flow stream (e.g., in a particle analyzer). Methods according to certain embodiments include irradiating the particle in the flow stream with two or more spatially separated lasers, detecting light from the particle in a first photodetector channel and a second photodetector channel calculating a velocity of the particle in the flow stream based on the detected light in the first photodetector channel and the second photodetector channel and determining the drop delay of the particle based on the calculated velocity. Systems (e.g., particle analyzers) having a light source with two or more spatially separated lasers and a light detection system for practicing the subject methods are also described. Integrated circuits and non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon for determining drop delay according to the subject methods are also provided.
