Flow Cytometry

16.5K
The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a reliable image processing technique for assessing human RBC aggregation.
  • To characterize RBC aggregates under controlled and measurable shear rates.
  • To utilize a two-fluid flow microfluidic shearing system.

Main Methods:

  • Captured high-speed images of RBC suspensions in a microfluidic channel.
  • Developed and validated an image processing algorithm.
  • Validated the algorithm using glass microspheres and manual detection comparisons.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm showed excellent agreement with manufacturer data for microspheres.
  • The method achieved high accuracy (2-4% error) compared to manual RBC aggregate detection.
  • The image processing technique proved reliable for RBC suspension analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The automated method for RBC aggregate detection is reliable and accurate.
  • This technique will benefit researchers studying RBC aggregation.
  • Future applications may include clinical assessment of RBC aggregation under flow.
