• The usual fluid for cells is saline

• The sheath fluid can be saline or water

• The sheath must be saline for sorting

• Samples are driven either by syringes or by pressure systems

Hydrodynamics and Fluid Systems

This is the first slide for Fluidics. It covers the biological constraints that must be observed when constructing the fluid systems for the flow cytometer.
