  • Systems, apparatus, and methods for sorting particles
    Patent number: 10816550
    Abstract: Provided here are cell detection systems, fluidic devices, structures and techniques related to particle and cell sorting and detection in fluid, for example sorting specific subpopulations of cell types. A method for verification of sorting of particles includes receiving a first detection signal that is associated with optical characteristics of a particle in a first channel. A sorting channel of a plurality of second channels is determined based on the first detection signal, thereby determining the sorting of the particle into the sorting channel based on the optical characteristics of the particle. A sorting signal for sorting the particle from the first channel into the sorting channel is transmitted. A second detection signal is received that is associated with the presence of the particle in the sorting channel. The sorting of the particle from the first channel into the sorting channel is verified based on the second detection signal.

  • 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.
