Abstract:
The invention relates to a nozzle for flow cytometry, the housing of which is tapering towards an outlet and in which a feed tube is arranged for a core flow liquid, the outlet opening of which is arranged at a distance from the outlet of the housing. The outlet of the housing forms the outlet of the nozzle. The housing of the nozzle extends from its outlet, which is arranged at its first end to its opposite second end, and has an inlet for a sheath flow liquid connected with the internal volume. The nozzle is characterized in that in the housing a leading element that promotes the alignment of particles extends from both sides of the feed tube.

Claim (Index 5):
A nozzle for a flow cytometer having a housing, whose internal cross-section tapers along its longitudinal axis from its second end to an outlet at its first end, and in which, for a core flow liquid, a feed tube having a circular internal cross-section is arranged, which has an inlet opening, and that discharges into an outlet opening ( 9 ) arranged at its first end at a distance from the outlet, wherein an inlet for a sheath flow liquid is arranged at the housing, wherein\n a leading element, which extends along the longitudinal axis to a larger degree along a first dimension perpendicular to the longitudinal axis up to a distance to the inner wall of the housing than it extends in a second dimension that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and to the first dimension, wherein the leading element extends from its first end, which lies in the plane of the first end of the feed tube or is offset by a distance from the first end of the feed tube, up to its second end, which is arranged at a distance from the second end of the nozzle.
