Abstract :
The authors designed and fabricated cell counters in order to count the number of red blood cells and microbics in a fixed quantity solution. Micro flow cell cytometry proved possible as a cell analyzer as a result of injecting human erythrocyte and leukocyte cells and the inner cells of blood vessels into the system. With this paper, a new micro bio chip and a micro flow cell cytometry system can contribute to the development of MEMS, biotechnology, photonics and clinical testing. The chip and system can be used practically to diagnoses of particular diseases, DNA analysis and in-vitro diagnostics.
