Zusammenfassung: | Time-domain measurement of the fluorescence lifetime in flow cytometry offers a complementary method to traditional flow cytometry, especially for the analysis of cells and biomolecules. Short measurement times due to high throughputs (cells/s) make a suited detector mandatory for a sufficient detection of the fluorescence signal and therefore the application of this method. We summarize the requirements for a suited detector for time resolved flow cytometry (TRFC) and present a new developed SPAD array detector with 100 pixels and 340 ns time between measurement windows, allowing a high-throughput of up to 60,000 cells/s. The functionality of the detector is shown with the measurement of a 22.2 ns laser pulse, making it applicable for an improved TRFC. |
