Abstract

The invention discloses a photoacoustic-fluorescence flow cytometer. The flow cytometer comprises an optical excitation system, a fluorescence signal receiving system, a photoacoustic signal receiving system, a sample platform and a computer display controlling system, wherein the optical excitation system is connected with the fluorescence signal receiving system, the sample platform and the computer display controlling system; the photoacoustic signal receiving system is connected with the sample platform and the computer display controlling system; the fluorescence signal receiving system is connected with the computer display controlling system; the computer display controlling system is electrically connected with the optical excitation system, the fluorescence signal receiving system and the photoacoustic signal receiving system. According to the flow cytometer, as a pulse laser is adopted as a single excitation light source, a photoacoustic signal and a fluorescence signal of a substance to be detected are excited simultaneously, and simultaneously acquired through an upper passage and a lower passage, the photoacoustic signal and the fluorescence signal are detected in real time, and more information about a single cell and granules is acquired.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flow detection, and in particular relates to a photoacoustic-fluorescence flow cytometer and a detection method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Flow cytometry is a technology developed in the 1970s. It integrates computer technology, laser technology, fluid mechanics, cytochemistry, and cellular immunology. It also has the functions of analyzing and sorting cells. This technology is a functional A detection method for quantitative analysis and sorting of single cells or particles at the horizontal level. [0003] At present, the most commonly used method of flow cytometry is fluorescence flow cytometry, which uses continuous laser light to irradiate cells or particles stained with fluorescent dyes in a high-speed flow state, and measures the intensity of their emitted fluorescence, so as to achieve the qualitative analysis of cells or particles. Or quantitative detection and analys...
