Claim 0:
1. A particle analyzer for analyzing particles, comprising:
a source of a light beam;
a flowcell defining a flow path configured to receive a hydrodynamically focused core stream therethrough, wherein at least a portion of the flowcell has a substantially elongated cross-section on a plane perpendicular to a direction of fluid flow in the flow path;
a detector configured to detect a signal resulting from an interaction of the light beam with at least one particle in the hydrodynamically focused core stream;
a first sorting actuator comprising a sorting actuator driver;
a plurality of sorting channels in fluid connection with the flow path and downstream of the first sorting actuator; and
an electronic processing unit communicatively coupled to the sorting actuator driver, wherein the electronic processing unit is configured to:
receive the signal resulting from the interaction of the light beam and the at least one particle,
process the signal, and
transfer the processed signal to the sorting actuator driver, wherein the sorting actuator driver is configured to cause a first actuation state of the first sorting actuator to direct at least one part of the hydrodynamically focused core stream with the at least one particle to a first sorting channel.
