Filed:

Oct 20, 2000

Appl. No.:

10/111026

Inventors:

Carl E. Ellison - Fort Collins CO, US
Paul Barclay Purcell - Ouray CO, US
George C. Malachowski - Fort Collins CO, US
Matthias J. Ottenberg - Fort Collins CO, US

Assignee:

DakoCytomation Colorado, Inc. - Fort Collins CO

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

702 45, 702 21, 702 25, 702 32, 702 50, 422 681, 422 73

Abstract:

A flow cytometry apparatus and methods to process information incident to particles or cells entrained in a sheath fluid stream allowing assessment, differentiation, assignment, and separation of such particles or cells even at high rates of speed. A first signal processor individually or in combination with at least one additional signal processor for applying compensation transformation on data from a signal. Compensation transformation can involve complex operations on data from at least one signal to compensate for one or numerous operating parameters. Compensated parameters can be returned to the first signal processor for provide information upon which to define and differentiate particles from one another.
