Abstract
The present invention provides devices and methods for identification and/or quantitation of particles through detection of fluorescence labeled particles in an apparatus for differential charged particle mobility analysis and fluorescence detection.
Claims9
An apparatus for differential-charged particle mobility analysis and detection of fluorescence, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more pumps adapted to transport through a capillary;
- an ionizer adapted to charge particles of a fluorophore labeled sample as the sample flows within a capillary;
- a differential-charged particle mobility analyzer adapted to:
- receive a sample of fluorophore labeled charged particles from an ionizer;
- and
- perform a differential-charged particle mobility analysis on a sample of charged particles;
- and
- a fluorescence detection system adapted to detect fluorescence of the charged particles.
