  • Device for image-based cell classification, method therefor and use thereof
    Patent number: 11610416
    Abstract: A classifying device for classifying cells in real-time, comprising: as alignment unit configured to align a cell to be classified along the cell's major axis; and a classifying unit configured to classify the aligned cell using a multilayer perceptron, MLP; wherein the MLP classifies the aligned cell based on one or more images of the aligned cell. By executing the classifying device, an improved and efficient cell classification in real-time based on cell images can be provided, while labelling of the cells to be classified can be avoided.
    Type: Grant

  • Three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic focusing using a microfluidic device
    Patent number: 8941826
    Abstract: A microfluidic device comprises inlets for a sample flow and an out-of-plane focusing sheath flow, and a curved channel section configured to receive the sample flow and out-of-plane focusing sheath and to provide hydrodynamic focusing of the sample flow in an out-of-plane direction, the out-of-plane direction being normal to a plane including the curved channel. Examples of the invention also include improved flow cytometers.
