  • Multinode acoustic focusing for parallel flow cytometry analysis applications
    Patent number: 9074977
    Abstract: An analytical device such as a flow cytometer is provided in which a fluid sample flowing through a channel is focused into multiple, parallel particle streams by an acoustic wave field extending across the channel. Each stream is then presented to an individual detector to allow for simultaneous interrogation of the multiple streams and thus, high-throughput analysis of the fluid sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2015
    Assignee: STC.UNM
    Inventors: Steven W Graves, Robert W. Applegate, Jr., Gabriel P. Lopez, Menake Eranda Piyasena
