Description
Technical field
Low cytometric analysis field is the utility model is related to, more particularly to a kind of sorting unit of flow cytometer.
Background technology
Flow cytometer is the instrument for identifying different types of cell and similar finely ground particle substance.Conventional streaming is thin
Born of the same parents' instrument exports containing transparent flow chamber (Flow cell), usually quartz curette, square structure, both ends.Not celliferous sheath fluid and
Cell suspension injects quartz curette from quartz curette entrance under stress, and not celliferous sheath fluid is wrapped in cell suspension, passes through fluid
Principle of dynamics makes on the longitudinal axis that cell suspension constrains in quartz curette into one thread, and quartz is flowed through together with cell suspension
Cup, flowed out from outlet.Under the constraint of sheath fluid, cell arranges cell suspension one by one, when flowing through the cell detection area of quartz curette, often
The exciting light (such as laser) that individual cell is focused excites and sends optical signal.Cell is excited the light letter sent after light irradiation
Number feature can reflect the form of cell, density, size, biological property etc..
Flow cytometer with sorting function can also will be specifically thin according to the cell of detection or the characteristic of particle
Born of the same parents or grain sorting come out it is further studied, including culture, morphological analysis, sequencing or functional experiment etc..
Specifically, as shown in figure 1, the quartzy cup type flow cytometer with sorting function, conventional flotation-dividing part include
Quartz curette 14 and nozzle 16, nozzle 16 have certain thickness, and containing ingate and outlet opening, both form vertical channel 19 at connection, spray
The bottom of mouth 16 and quartz curette 14 is combined closely, the ingate of nozzle 16 and the outlet of the bottom of quartz curette 14.Piezoelectricity
Device shakes quartz curette, wraps celliferous sheath fluid and is flowed out from nozzle 16, one is broken into the distance below of nozzle 16
The uniform drop of consecutive.Ideally, each drop comprises only a cell, the detection zone that this cell passes through quartz curette 14
When be detected identification.If aim cell is sorted out by way of electrostatic, the drop comprising aim cell is necessary
It is electrically charged.The charging original paper that can change rapidly comprising current potential in quartz curette 14, aim cell reach drop breakpoint by nozzle 16

Deflecting plates.Deflecting plates, which forms static electric field, can deflect the charged droplets containing aim cell, fall into the collection device of lower section, from
And aim cell is sorted out.
However, the activated state of cell is related to effect or the success or failure of subsequent experimental after sorting.Wherein influence sorting activity
One of influence factor for sorting when damage of the dramatic change of cell flow rate to cell.Assuming that in the cavity of quartz curette 14 cell stream
Speed is V1, and the cell flow rate before the ingate of nozzle 16 to outlet opening is V2, and the flow velocity of nozzle exit orifice cell is V3, existing
In sorting unit, because the ingate of nozzle 16 connects to form vertical channel 19, V2=V3, cell flow rate with both of outlet opening
Changes delta V=V2-V1, for existing sorting unit, V2 and V1 are fixed value so that the sheath fluid comprising cell 13 flows through
The moment of nozzle 16, change in flow is relatively large, easily causes bigger damage to the cell 13 flowed through, has a strong impact on sorting
The activated state of cell afterwards.
