Embodiment Construction

[0049] figure 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary miniature portable blood cell counter according to the present invention. The hemocytometer is indicated by reference numeral 10 and includes a housing 12 and a removable or replaceable cartridge 14 . The exemplary housing 12 includes a base 16 , a cover 18 , and a hinge 20 connecting the base 16 to the cover 18 . Base 16 includes light sources 22a and 22b, associated optics and required electronics for operating the hemocytometer. Cover 12 includes a manual pressure application element, a pressure chamber with a control microvalve, and light detectors 24a and 24b with associated optics.

[0050] Removable cartridge 14 preferably receives sample fluid via sample collection port 32 . When removable cartridge 14 is not in use, cover 38 may be used to protect sample collection port 32 . The removable chuck 14 preferably performs hemodilution, erythrocyte lysis of cells, and hydrodynamic focusing for core formation. The re...

Abstract

An apparatus having scattering and multi-color fluorescence detecting, analyzing and identification capabilities of blood or other fluids of interest. The sample to be tested may be entered in a disposable microfluidic cartridge (14) which in turn is insertable in a hand-holdable or implantable miniaturized and portable cytometer instrument (10). This cytometer has significant application in biological warfare agent detection, hematology and other clinical and research fields.
