Abstract:
The present disclosure provides apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing particle analysis through flow cytometry at comparatively high event rates and for gathering high resolution images of particles.

Claim (Index 1):
A system, comprising:\n a flow channel, the flow channel having an inlet, and the flow channel defining a flow path for fluid communicated therethrough; a first optical train comprising a first illumination source and a first detection module, the first detection module being disposed so as to receive a signal related to illumination of a first region of the flow channel by the first illumination source, the first region being located at a first distance from the inlet of the flow channel; a second optical train comprising a second illumination source and a second detection module, the second detection module being disposed so as to receive a signal related to illumination of (i) a second region of the flow channel or of (ii) a region of a second flow channel by the second illumination source, the second region of the flow channel or the region of the second flow channel being located at a second distance from the inlet of the flow channel, the second distance being greater from the first distance, and (a) wherein the first region of the flow channel defines a first cross-sectional area, wherein the second region of the flow channel defines a second cross-sectional area, and wherein the first and second cross-sectional areas differ from one another in area, in shape, or in both area and shape, or (b) wherein (i) the system comprises a conduit entering the flow channel between the inlet of the flow channel and the first region of the flow channel, (ii) the system comprises a conduit entering the flow channel between the first region and the second region of the flow channel, or both (i) and (ii), or (c) wherein the system comprises a flowrate modulator configured to modulate a velocity of a particle in the flow path, the flowrate modulator being configured to add or remove fluid, or any combination of (a), (b), or (c).
