Cell Detection with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer
LabChip technology allows cell measurements by integrating cell flow, hydrodynamic
focusing, and fluorescence detection into a microfluidic chip. A cell suspension can be
confined or “pinched” to a portion of a microfluidic channel, causing cells to line up in
single file for individual cell detection. The following images illustrate the pinching
process.
Up to six cell samples can be analyzed on a chip. They are measured sequentially.
