Flow cytometry method using semiconductor laser

Cytometry is used to analyze physiological and chemical 
characteristics of cells and other biological particles. Flow 
cytometry is used to analyze those cells and particles as they 
are passed through extremely small and sensitive detecting 
zones. Fluorescence Flow Cytometry uses light emission 
from stained proteins (RNA&DNA) in order to separate cell 
populations through scattergram analysis programs.

A blood sample is aspirated and measured, diluted to the 
specified ratio and stained. The sample is then fed into the 
flow cell.
This Hydro Dynamic Focusing mechanism improves cell 
count accuracy, reproducibility and linearity. And since the 
blood cell particles pass in a line through the center of the 
flow cell, the generation of artificial blood pulses is prevented 
and flow cell contamination is reduced.
A semiconductor laser beam is emitted to the blood cells 
passing through the flow cell. The forward scattered light is 
received by the photodiode, and the lateral scattered light and 
lateral fluorescent light are received by the photomultiplier 
tubes. This light is converted into electrical pulses, making it 
possible to perform detailed scattergram analysis.

(1) Forward scattered light and lateral scattered light
When blood cells pass the light-beam, the light scatters from 
each cell in various directions. This phenomenon is called 
light scattering. By detecting the scattered light, it is possible 
to obtain information on cell size and cell surface structure.
The intensity of the scattered light depends on factors such as 
the particle diameter and viewing angle. This instrument 
detects forward scattered light, which provides information on 
blood cell size and lateral scattered light, which provides 
information on the cell complexity.
