Flow Cytometer Lab-on-Chip Devices

Microfluidics has been applied to microscopy, flow cytometry, and chemical cytometry, among others. As microscopy and flow cytometry are discussed in detail in other entries in the encyclopedia ( Flow Cytometer Lab-on-Chip Devices,... 

Flow Cytometer Lab-on-Chip Devices, Figure 3 Hydrodynamic focusing for mircofabricaled flow cytometers (a) schematic diagram of a 2-dimensional microfabricated flow cytometer for a theoretical approach, (b) photograph of focused sample stream inside a flow cytometer, and (c) variation of the width of the focused stream as a fonction of the relative tlow rates of sample and sheath [14]... 

Flow Cytometer Lab-on-Chip Devices, Rgure 5 MIcrofabrIcated Coulter counter (a) scanning electron microscope image of the Coulter counter. The 3.5 (Jim deep resenroirs and the inner Ti/Pt electrodes, which control the voltage applied to the pore but pass no current are only partially shown. The inset shows a magnified view of this devices pore, which has dimensions 5.1 x1.5x1. Opm and (b) relative changes in baseline current versus time for a mono-disperse solution of 87 nm diameter latex colloids and a poly-disperse solution of latex colloids with diameters 460,500,560, 640 nm [3]...
