==IMAGE-BASED CELL SORTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18295244 titled 'IMAGE-BASED CELL SORTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS

==Simplified Explanation==

- The patent application is about systems, devices, and methods for imaging and sorting particles in a flow system, specifically cells in a flow cytometer.
- The system includes a device that allows particles to flow through a channel.
- An imaging system captures image data of the particles as they flow through the channel.
- A processing unit analyzes the image data to determine a property associated with each particle.
- Based on sorting criteria related to particle properties, the processing unit generates a control command for sorting the particles.
- An actuator is used to direct each particle into one of several output paths in real-time.
- The innovation allows for real-time imaging and sorting of particles, particularly cells, in a flow system.
- This technology can be used in flow cytometry applications for various purposes, such as cell analysis and sorting based on specific properties.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed are systems, devices and methods for imaging and image-based sorting of particles in a flow system, including cells in a flow cytometer. In some aspects, a system includes a particle flow device to flow particles through a channel, an imaging system to obtain image data of a particle during flow through the channel, a processing unit to determine a property associated with the particle and to produce a control command for sorting the particle based on sorting criteria associated with particle properties, and an actuator to direct the particle into one of a plurality of output paths of the particle flow device in real-time.
