Abstract
A cell sorting system that automatically generates a sorting strategy based on examples of target events provided by an operator. The target events can be selected using measurements ranging from traditional flow cytometry measurements to derived measurements that are computationally expensive to complex measurements such as images.
Claims16
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- under control of one or more processing devices,
- receiving, from a communication device, a reference sorting criteria for a sample with a particle analyzer;
- identifying candidate event classifiers for the sample based at least in part on the reference sorting criteria;
- generating a sorting strategy, the sorting strategy including at least one event classifier from the candidate event classifiers;
- and
- configuring the particle analyzer to classify a particle for the sample based at least in part on the sorting strategy.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processing devices;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing devices, causes the system to,
- receive, from a communication device, a reference sorting criteria for a sample with a particle analyzer;
- identify candidate event classifiers for the sample based at least in part on the reference sorting criteria;
- generate a sorting strategy, the sorting strategy including at least one event classifier from the candidate event classifiers;
- generate a control signal to adjust an operational state for an analytical means included in the particle analyzer, wherein the operational state is based at least in part on the sorting strategy;
- and
- transmit the control signal to the analytical means to achieve the operational state.
