Publication number: 20240149267Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are capable of rapid analysis and classification of cellular samples based on cytomorphological properties. In several embodiments, cells suspended in a fluid medium are passed through a microfluidic channel, where they are focused to a single stream line and imaged continuously. In a number of embodiments, the microfluidic channel establishes flow that enables individual cells to each be imaged at multiple angles in a short amount of time. A pattern recognition system can analyze the data captured from high-speed images of cells flowing through this system and classify target cells. In this way, the automated platform creates new possibilities for a wide range of research and clinical applications such as (but not limited to) point of care services.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: Mahdokht Masaeli, Euan A.
