Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A particle analyzer for analyzing particles, comprising:
a source of a light beam;
a flowcell defining a flow path along an x-axis and 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, and
wherein a largest axis of the substantially elongated cross-section of at least the portion of the flowcell is aligned with a z-axis perpendicular to the x-axis and is further aligned under an angle of no more than 45 degrees relative to a forward direction of propagation of the light beam; and
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.
