of pressurized sheath fluid. A single 20 liter sheath container
provides enough fluid for 48 hours or more of normal operation.
The optics assembly consists of two lasers. One laser excites the dye
mixture inside the xMAP microspheres and the second laser excites
the fluorosphere bound to the surface of the xMAP microspheres.
Avalanche photo diode detectors measure the excitation emission
intensities of the color coding classification dye mixtures inside the
xMAP microspheres and a photomultiplier tube detects the excitation
emission intensity of the reporter molecule bound to the surface of
the xMAP microspheres. High speed digital signal processors and
advanced computer algorithms provide analysis of the xMAP
microspheres as they are processed through the Luminex 100
analyzer. Results of the analyses are processed and provided in a
report format.
