Abstract: A method for determining the density of particles includes passing a carrier fluid and particles through a fractionation cell at a predetermined rate, where the carrier fluid has a predetermined density, the fractionation cell has a housing including a first axial end and a second axial end and the fractionation cell defines an interior carrier fluid flow-through channel, and an upper fluid outlet and a lower fluid outlet positioned below the upper fluid outlet, passing the carrier fluid and the particles through the upper fluid outlet and the lower fluid outlet, measuring a first concentration of particles passing through the upper fluid outlet, measuring a second concentration of particles passing through the lower fluid outlet, and determining a density of the particles based at least in part on the first concentration and the second concentration of particles.

Abstract: In aspects, a system includes an on-board storage containing a synthetic quality control material, a plurality of sub-systems having a plurality of operating parameters and including a material analyzer, a database storing quality control results that include results of the material analyzer analyzing the synthetic quality control material over time, one or more processors, and at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to, automatically without user intervention: generate a control chart based on the quality control results, determine that a parameter of the plurality of operating parameters is out-of-tolerance based on the control chart, and adjust at least one of the plurality of sub-systems without user intervention to bring the out-of-tolerance parameter to within tolerance.

Abstract: A collection container for separating and collection particles suspended in a sample fluid added to the collection container includes at least one barrier-forming fluid which is immiscible relative to the sample fluid and which has a specific gravity which is different from the specific gravity of the sample fluid. The barrier-forming fluid is situated in the collection container to be in contact with the sample fluid and to form with the sample fluid a fluidic imaging barrier at the interface between the sample fluid and the barrier-forming fluid. The particles suspended in the sample fluid will separate therefrom when centrifugal or gravitational forces are applied to the container and will collect at the fluidic imaging barrier for imaging by an optical imaging system.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method of monitoring disease progression in a mammal positive for immunodeficiency virus which includes collecting blood cells from a mammal to obtain a first blood sample adding antibodies such as CD4 and CD8 to the first blood sample scanning the blood sample to produce a first multivariate dot plot which may be used to quantify at least CD4+ and CD8+ blood cell populations to produce a first ratio. The first multivariate dot plot may also be used to quantify a CD8??low subpopulation which may be used to calculate a second ratio. A third ratio is calculated of the second ratio to the first ratio and the result plotted on a graph as a first point. This process may be repeated to produce a second point for evaluating an extent of disease progression.
