Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring properties of particles that move through a fluidic microsystem, the particles being suspended in a liquid. According to the inventive method, a first parameter of a specific particle is first measured at a first test station (11). A second parameter of the particle is then measured at an interval from the first measurement at a second test station (12) which is spatially separated from the first test station (11), and the first and second parameters are jointly evaluated in a correlated manner, the first and second parameters being characteristic of different properties of the tested particle. The evaluation comprises a comparison of the first and second parameters with predetermined expected values. Another measurement is taken or manipulations are performed on the tested particle according to the result of the comparison. Also disclosed is a fluidic microsystem that is designed for implementing the inventive method.

Abstract: The invention relates to an method of analysing biological particles, in particular to be conducted in a cell sorter, with following steps: placing the particles to be analysed into a carrier flow, carrying out a first analysis of the particles moving with the carrier flow, selecting at least one particle in dependence on the result of the first analysis, carrying out a second analysis of the selected particle in a decelerated condition. Furthermore, the invention comprises a corresponding analysis device.
