Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blood sorting technology, specifically to a device for sorting central memory T cells in blood. Background Technology
[0002] Central memory T cells (TCMs) are a subset of T cells that play a crucial role in the immune response. TCMs can home to lymph nodes and respond rapidly upon re-encountering the same antigen, providing fast and effective immune protection. TCMs in blood can be sorted using flow cytometry, a technique that uses flow cytometry to rapidly and quantitatively analyze the physicochemical properties of cell subsets. TCMs can be precisely isolated from blood samples using methods such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting or magnetic activation cell sorting.
[0003] However, in current flow cytometry for cell sorting, the varying concentrations of blood samples lead to differences in flow rate. Higher flow rates result in coarser fluid flow at the sample center, poorer laser focusing, and lower resolution. This means that at high flow rates, the ability to distinguish cell subpopulations decreases, potentially reducing sorting accuracy and consequently affecting sorting efficiency and yield.
