Abstract:
A cytometer includes an avalanche photodiode, a switching power supply, a filter, and voltage adjustment circuitry. The switching power supply includes a feedback loop. The filter is electrically connected between the switching power supply and the avalanche photodiode. The voltage adjustment circuitry adjusts a voltage on the feedback loop based at least in part on a voltage measured between the filter and the avalanche photodiode.

Claim (Index 1):
A flow cytometry apparatus comprising:\n a flow chamber configured to direct a fluid stream including cells through an interrogation location; a laser configured to emit electromagnetic radiation along a beam path to the interrogation location to illuminate a given cell; an avalanche photodiode configured to:\n receive electromagnetic radiation from the interrogation location emitted by the given cell; and \n generate a signal indicative of an intensity of the received electromagnetic radiation; \n at least one processor configured to analyze the signal indicative of the intensity of the received electromagnetic radiation to determine a characteristic of the given cell; a switching power supply including a feedback loop; a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature and generate a corresponding temperature signal encoding temperature data; and voltage adjustment circuitry configured to adjust a voltage on the feedback loop based at least in part on the temperature data.
