First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device for analyzing target particles in a sample, comprising:
- a cartridge device, wherein the cartridge device comprises;
an inlet configured for receiving the sample into the cartridge device;
a fluidic structure fluidly connected to the inlet and configured for mixing at least a portion of the sample with at least a portion of a reagent to form one or more sample mixtures;
a flow cell fluidly connected to the fluidic structure and configured for forming one or more sample streams from the one or more sample mixtures, wherein the sample streams are formed in the flow cell without a sheath flow, and wherein the flow cell comprises an optically transparent area configured for measuring an optical signal from the sample streams to detect the target particles in the sample; and
a flow sensor fluidly connected to the flow cell and configured for measuring a sensing signal from the sample streams that enter the flow sensor.
