Dual beam sorting at Livermore. [Dual-beam flow cytometer]

OSTI ID:5827797
Most flow cytometers in use today utilize single excitation sources to excite single fluorescent dyes that probe some cellular property or component of interest. To provide for the flexible use of two dyes for the simultaneous measurement of two or more components we have constructed a dual beam flow cytometer/sorter. Argon and krypton ion lasers are used to provide two elliptically shaped beams; cells flow through the beams sequentially. The light collection optics permits the measurement of four variables for each cell. Data acquisition and analysis are acomplished through the use of a computer-based pulse height analyzer.
