Patent granted for cytometer fluidics system with pressure regulation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965813B2) discloses a cytometer fluidics system designed to efficiently regulate pressure and maintain a consistent flow rate of fluids within the system. The system includes a sheath tank, a manifold assembly, a flow cell, and various valves and paths for different functions. A pressure regulation system, consisting of a pressure regulator and a transducer, ensures that the regulated pressure matches the measured pressure, thereby controlling the flow rate of sheath fluid in the system. Additionally, the system features paths for purging gas bubbles, aspirating and boosting sample fluids, running sample fluids, recovering samples, and flushing the sample injection tube, among other functions.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for operating the cytometer fluidics system, emphasizing the pressurization of sheath fluid, sensing and converting measured pressure into a regulated pressure, and maintaining consistent flow rates. The method includes purging the flow cell, aspirating and boosting sample fluids using linear valves, and running sample fluids by pressurizing the sheath fluid. By cycling between different operations and utilizing various paths and valves, the system and method described in the patent aim to optimize the performance of cytometer fluidics systems, ensuring accurate and efficient analysis of samples in research and diagnostic applications.
