Quantum-Enabled Flow Cytometer

NIST Inventors
Sergey Polyakov and Ivan Burenkov
Flow cytometry is arguably the most powerful optical method routinely used in the diagnosis of health disorders and disease monitoring. We enhance an optical flow cytometer with a photon­ number statistics measurement. Our technique allows for an absolute measurement of biomarker concentration and

Quantum Flow Cytometer

NIST Inventors
Sergey Polyakov and Ivan Burenkov
A quantum flow cytometer for detecting an analyte with photon-number statistics includes: a flow cytometer that: receives a pump light in a first direction; receives an analyte flow comprising the analyte in a second direction; and produces scattered light from scattering the pump light by the

Depiction of OptoFluidic Flow Meter

Optofluidic Flow Meter

NIST Inventors
Zeeshan Ahmed and Gregory A Cooksey
Optofluidics is the marriage of microfluidics and optical technology. The NIST Optical Flow Meter (US Patent 10,151,681) provides an on-chip assessment of flow and heat transfer, resulting in vast improvements in fluid metrology and advances in biological sensing.
Serial cytometry involves making repeated measurements of single objects as they pass through multiple interrogation regions in a microfluidic channel. Integrated optical waveguides deliver and collect light from objects. Matching and analysis of signals from individual cells, for example, enable uncertainty estimates on the biomarker content of each cell, which enables better comparison and classification of cells and mixture of cells.

Serial Cytometry

NIST Inventors
Gregory A Cooksey , Paul Patrone and Anthony J. Kearsley
NIST scientists have developed a microfluidic flow cytometer that is capable of robust and repeated measurements that provide first-of-their-kind uncertainty estimates, which support better comparability and classification of cytometry data. The device measures single objects in flow several times
