The Design and Simulated Analysis of Sheath Flow System for the Flow Cytometry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flow cytometry is a examination method which can analyse and sort unicellular or biological particles . For the requirement of the width and the flowage of sample flow in the laser detection area , this paper designs a sheath flow system of flow cytometry through solidworks software based on the theory of hydrodynamic focusing. Simulating and calculating this model through solidworks flow simulation software, the simulated results meet fully the actual experiment for unicellular and biological particles. The simulated results can verify the correctness of the sheath flow system, and it has certain theoretical significance for actual design of sheath system about flow cytometry.
