Abstract
A compact sorting flow cytometer system includes a fluidics system having a flow cell and a deflection chamber in communication with the flow cell and a droplet deposition unit (DDU) system in communication with the deflection chamber. The defection chamber receives drops in a stream of a sample biological fluid with one or more biological cells or particles and selectively deflect the drops in the stream. The DDU system is in communication with the deflection chamber to receive the selectively deflected drops into one or more containers. The DDU system includes a case forming a portion of a containment chamber. When closed, one or more doors seal and close off the containment chamber from an external environment. Air can be evacuated from the containment chamber by one or more fans in one or more tunnels. Air can be conditioned by a thermoelectric cooling array between the containment chamber and an air conditioning chamber that is moved by one or more fans.
