We describe a new optical detection technique, termed "spatially modulated fluorescence emission," that delivers high signal-to-noise discrimination without precision optics to enable a flow cytometer that can combine high performance, robustness, compactness, low cost, and ease of use. The detection technique is demonstrated with measurements of absolute CD4+ and percentage CD4 counts in human blood. Benchmarking against a commonly used commercial instrument for this test yields excellent agreement for both absolute CD4 and percentage CD4.
我们描述了一种新的光学检测技术,称为“空间调制荧光发射”,它提供了高信噪比的区分,而不需要精密光学器件,从而实现了一种可以结合高性能、鲁棒性、紧凑性、低成本和易用性的流式细胞仪。该检测技术通过对人体血液中绝对 CD4+和百分比 CD4 的测量进行了演示。与该测试中常用的商业仪器进行基准测试,对于绝对 CD4 和百分比 CD4 都有很好的一致性。
