Investigation into Design of Micro Flow Cytometer Data Collection System Sam Weiers NastaranHashemi, PouyaAsrar
Outline • Motivation and objectives • Approach, methods • Current Status of work/current results • Work in progress, planned work and timeline
Motivation/Objectives • Motivation • To create a micro flow cytometer that will analyze marine algae in UUVs • Objectives • Design and construct an electrical system • Run multiple electronic components • Collect and save data
Approach/Methods • First Task: Create a program for data acquisition • Tools: • LabVIEW 2011 • NI USB-6351 DAQ Device • Excel 2010 (For Graphing)
Approach/Methods • Designed and Created Circuits for: • 1 PMT • 3 MPPCs
Approach/Methods • Employ the micro channel into the system
Approach/Methods • Employ the micro channel into the system
Current Status/Results • DAQ program operational and stable • All MPPC and PMT circuits working • Can only collect data from two sources
Future Work Planned • Add light filters to the system • Restrict wavelengths entering PMTs and MPPCs • Collect data from all four positions • Use living organisms instead of beads
