Abstract
Systems and methods for imaging a plurality of blood fluid samples or other types of samples include processing at least a portion of a sample to enhance imageability of certain particles in that portion and subsequently imaging the sample portion. In some instances, processing and imaging of various samples may be staged in a manner to optimize throughput of the system or method.
Claims16
A method for imaging a plurality of blood fluid portions, the method comprising:
- a) receiving a first blood fluid portion in a sample analysis system;
- b) processing the first portion so as to enhance imageability of a first type of cell;
- c) receiving a second blood fluid portion in the sample analysis system;
- e) imaging the first portion in a flow cell;
- and
- f) imaging the second portion in the flow cell,
- wherein the imaging of the second portion occurs subsequent to the processing of the first portion or at least partially at the same time as the processing of the first portion.
