    Area of Science:

    • Biophotonics
    • Fluid dynamics
    • Cellular analysis

    Background:

    • Accurate cell sizing via optical methods typically demands high-resolution optics and specialized flow systems.
    • Existing techniques often face limitations in precision and potential mechanical stress on cells.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel flow system for high-resolution, accurate cell sizing and velocity measurement.
    • To address the limitations of current optical sizing methods in flow cytometry and related applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a unique flow system with a double sheath configuration, no curved optical surfaces, and gradual hydrodynamic focusing.
    • Employed a dual-laser system for precise cell positioning, time-of-flight measurements, and velocity referencing.
    • Monitored cellular extinction and performed simultaneous fluorescence intensity and diameter measurements.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved precise spatial positioning of cells, with laser beam cross-sections of 1 micron or less.
    • Successfully derived cell length from time-of-flight measurements, corrected by a continuous velocity reference.
    • Demonstrated the influence of particle structure on fluorescence measurements, highlighting the need for high-resolution sizing.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed flow system enables accurate and high-resolution cell sizing and velocity determination.
    • The system's design minimizes mechanical shearing and optimizes optical measurements for cellular analysis.
    • This approach is crucial for applications requiring simultaneous high-resolution sizing and fluorescence intensity measurements.
