Claim One:
1. A method of identifying sample components comprising: (a) obtaining a biological sample; (b) labeling said sample with one or more fluorophores; (c) separating components of said sample; and (d) detecting said sample components with a device wherein said device comprises: one or more lasers configured to emit two or more excitation lines, each excitation line having a different excitation wavelength; a timing circuit coupled to the one or more lasers and configured to fire the two or more excitation lines sequentially according to a timing program to produce time-correlated fluorescence emission signals from the sample; and a non-dispersive detector positioned to collect the time-correlated fluorescence emission signals; wherein said detector collects time correlated data from said sample comprising fluorescent emissions of the sample as a result of irradiation by the one or more excitation lines.
