摘要: In one aspect, the present teachings provide a system for performing cytometry that can be operated in three operational modes. In one operational mode, a fluorescence image of a sample is obtained by exciting one or more fluorophore(s) present in the sample by an excitation beam formed as a superposition of a top-hat-shaped beam with a plurality of beams that are radiofrequency shifted relative to one another. In another operational mode, a sample can be illuminated successively over a time interval by a laser beam at a plurality of excitation frequencies in a scanning fashion. The fluorescence emission from the sample can be detected and analyzed, e.g., to generate a fluorescence image of the sample. In yet another operational mode, the system can be operated to illuminate a plurality of locations of a sample concurrently by a single excitation frequency, which can be generated, e.g., by shifting the central frequency of a laser beam by a radiofrequency. For example, a horizontal extent of the sample can be illuminated by a laser beam at a single excitation frequency. The detected fluorescence radiation can be used to analyze the fluorescence content of the sample, e.g., a cell/particle.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for characterizing particles of a sample in a flow stream. Methods according to certain embodiments include generating frequency-encoded fluorescence data from a particle of a sample in a flow stream; and calculating phase-corrected spatial data of the particle by performing a transform of the frequency-encoded fluorescence data with a phase correction component. In certain embodiments, methods include generating an image of the particle in the flow stream based on the phase-corrected spatial data. Systems having a processor with memory operably coupled to the processor having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to calculate phase-corrected spatial data from frequency-encoded fluorescence data of a particle a flow stream are also described. Integrated circuit devices (e.g., field programmable gate arrays) having programming for practicing the subject methods are also provided.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for producing an output laser beam having two or more angularly deflected laser beams (e.g., for irradiating a sample in a flow stream) with a predetermined intensity profile. Systems for practicing the subject methods having a laser, an acousto-optic device, a radiofrequency generator and a controller for adjusting the amplitude of the radiofrequency drive signals to produce an output laser beam of angularly deflected laser beams with a predetermined intensity profile are also described.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for spectrally resolving light from fluorophores having overlapping fluorescence spectra in a sample. Methods according to certain embodiments include detecting light with a light detection system from a sample having a plurality of fluorophores having overlapping fluorescence spectra and spectrally resolving light from each fluorophore in the sample. In some embodiments, methods include estimating the abundance of one or more of the fluorophores in the sample, such as on a particle. In certain instances, methods include identifying the particle in the sample based on the abundance of each fluorophore and sorting the particle. Methods according to some embodiments includes spectrally resolving the light from each fluorophore by calculating a spectral unmixing matrix for the fluorescence spectra of each fluorophore. Systems and integrated circuit devices (e.g., a field programmable gate array) for practicing the subject methods are also provided.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for determining a photodetector gain correction factor for application to flow cytometer data. Methods according to certain embodiments include detecting light with a light detection system across a horizontal axis of a flow stream, generating data signals in a photodetector channel (e.g., an imaging photodetector channel) of the light detection system at a plurality of positions across the flow stream and calculating a detector gain correction factor for each position across the flow stream in response to the generated data signals. Methods also include applying a detector gain correction factor to data signals from a photodetector channel (e.g., non-imaging photodetector channels) to generate adjusted signal intensities. Systems (e.g., particle analyzers) having a light source and a light detection system that includes a photodetector (e.g., an imaging photodetector) for practicing the subject methods are also described. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium and integrated circuits (e.g., FPGAs) are also provided.

摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for phase correcting signals from a light detection system (e.g., in a flow cytometer). Methods according to certain embodiments include detecting light from a sample having particles in a flow stream with a light detection system that includes a brightfield photodetector configured to generate a brightfield data signal and a fluorescence detector configured to generate a fluorescence data signal and calculating a phase correction for the fluorescence detector based on the relative phase between the brightfield data signal and the fluorescence data signal. Systems having a processor with memory operably coupled to the processor having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to calculate a phase correction for a fluorescence detector based on a brightfield data signal and a fluorescence data signal from the fluorescence detector are also described. Integrated circuit devices (e.g., field programmable gate arrays) having programming for practicing the subject methods are also provided.
