  • SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS FOR CELL SORTING AND FLOW CYTOMETRY
    Publication number: 20240344960
    Abstract: A method includes providing a cartridge and the cartridge includes a slot for receiving a microfluidic chip having a set of first channels. The cartridge also includes a set of second channels and each channel of the set of second channels is coupleable to a different channel of the set of first channels during use with the microfluidic chip. The cartridge also includes an indent configured for engagement and alignment of the cartridge during use. The method also includes inserting the cartridge into a device, such that the cartridge engages a first biasing member of the device configured for alignment of the cartridge in a first direction. The first biasing member is configured to bias movement of the cartridge into locking position with a notch of the device.

  • SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS FOR CELL SORTING AND FLOW CYTOMETRY
    Publication number: 20180163713
    Abstract: A system includes a sorting chamber and a fluid channel in fluid communication with the sorting chamber. A peristaltic pump is in fluid communication with the fluid channel to pump fluid through the fluid channel to the sorting chamber at a fluid flow rate. A fluid damper is in fluid communication with the sample fluid channel. The fluid damper includes a gas and reduces variations in the fluid flow rate by compression and expansion of the gas in response to fluid flow in the fluid channel.
