Patent number: 11927523Abstract: In flow cytometry, particles (2) can be distinguished between populations (8) by combining n-dimensional parameter data, which may be derived from signal data from a particle, to mathematically achieve numerical results representative of an alteration (48). An alteration may include a rotational alteration, a scaled alteration, or perhaps even a translational alteration. Alterations may enhance separation of data points which may provide real-time classification (49) of signal data corresponding to individual particles into one of at least two populations.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: George C. Malachowski, Paul Barclay Purcell, Edward Allan Stanton, Kenneth Michael Evans

Publication number: 20230334883Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include reconfigurable integrated circuits for characterizing particles of a sample in a flow stream. Reconfigurable integrated circuits according to certain embodiments are programmed to calculate parameters of a particle in a flow stream from detected light; compare the calculated parameters of the particle with parameters of one or more particle classifications; classify the particle based on the comparison between the parameters of the particle classifications and the calculated parameters of the particle; and adjust one or more parameters of the particle classifications based on the calculated parameters of the particle. Methods for characterizing particles in a flow stream with the subject integrated circuits are also described. Systems and integrated circuit devices programmed for practicing the subject methods, such as on a flow cytometer, are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventor: Paul Barclay Purcell

Patent number: 11686663Abstract: Some embodiments of the methods provided herein relate to sample analysis and particle characterization methods. Some such embodiments include receiving, from a particle analyzer, measurements for a first portion of particles associated with an experiment. Some embodiments also include generating a tree representing groups of related particles based at least in part on the measurements, wherein the tree includes at least three groups. Some embodiments also include generating a measure of relatedness between a first group and a second group of the tree based at least in part on the measurements. Some embodiments also include and configuring the particle analyzer to classify a subsequent particle associated with the experiment with the first group real-time, wherein the subsequent particle is not included in the first portion of particles. Some embodiments also include sorting the subsequent particle.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANYInventors: Joseph Trotter, Paul Barclay Purcell
