Modular flow cytometry systems and methods for processing samples are described herein. The systems include automated or semi-automated modules that are replaceable and removable. A sample pathway module may be removed and placed in a microfluidic device cleaning module for cleaning, and then reinstalled or stored for later use. The systems further include optical modules, electronics modules, and mixing and collection modules. The optical module includes a photo-damaging assembly and detection laser assembly that may be on the same side relative to a plane or surface of a flow cytometry device and opposite of a detection assembly. The laser beam may have a beam waist that is wider in a direction perpendicular to a flow direction than in the flow direction. The mixing and collection module can automatically mix a sample being collected in a sample tube and switch to another sample tube when the other tube is full.
