METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCREENING OBSCURED OR PARTIALLY OBSCURED CELLS

摘要

the method and the apparatus (900) described are used to sort cells or partially hidden hidden, in order to identify one or more subsets of populations of cells. this is the count (912) from a population of white blood cells, together with that of a standard population.the population standard may be a population of the total population of white blood cells, a population of white blood cells that does not obscure the characteristic detected changed or not changed in to investigate.an artificial population formed by microspheres which do not obviate the feature detected, changed or not changed in to study, a population of white blood cells, in which the feature is detected in the subset is wholly or in part being changed.the detected feature subset is then modified to study binding to microspheres having monoclonal antibodies specific to the subset study (916). the population of white blood cells, and the population standard are recomptu00e9es (912) and compared with the result of counting (922) original.
