光流控流式细胞术的研究进展

Research Progress of Optofluidic Flow Cytometry

光流控是一项将光学和微流控技术结合起来,在微芯片上实现部分种类细胞计数、分选等功能的新技术。近些年来伴随着光流控技术的蓬勃发展,流式细胞仪小型化、价格下降以及更紧凑的趋势逐渐明显,而这将会给医疗保健诊断以及某些疾病的预防检测带来极大的便利。对目前该领域液流控制、照明及探测光学、新型分选装置等方面的最新进展进行了介绍。

Optofluidic technology is a new technology which combines optics and microfluidic technology to achieve cell counting and sorting of some species and other functions on the microchip. Miniaturization, lower prices and more compact structure of flow cytometry have been a trend with the vigorous development of optofluidic technologies in recent years. It brings great convenience to health-care diagnostics, prevention and detection of certain diseases, that will improve the living standards of people. We introduce the lighting and detection optics, novel sorting equipment and other aspects of the latest developments in this field.
