Fluidics - Differential Pressure
System
•Sheath pressure will set the sheath volume flow rate (assuming sample flow is negligible)
•Difference in pressure between sample and sheath will control sample volume flow rate
•Control is not absolute - changes in friction cause changes in sample volume flow rate
