Optical Flow Cytometer
- Quantitative cellular analysis in hematology
- Identifying prognostic indicators:
- Cancer, HIV, and other time-dependent biomarkers
- Gold standard for multi-parametric analysis
- Sophisticated instrumentation
Challenge: Hard to translate to a PoC setting!

MNP-coated cells evoke change of sensor resistance
Hz
Optical FCM
- Complex optics, lasers, and
photodetectors
- Extensive sample preparation
- Long turnaround times and
- ut of reach for routine
monitoring
Magnetic FCM
- Biological samples have no
magnetic background
- Sample preparation can
largely be eliminated
- Can be miniaturized, which
also improves their sensitivity
Optical- vs. Magnetic-FCM

Single-strip
Unique signature improves matched filtering
- Commonly used inside hard disk drives
- Key enabler for higher areal density (larger HDD)
- Nobel prize in 2007 awarded to Fert and Grünberg

20μm
- Multi-stripe layout: enables distinct magnetic
signature used for matched filtering
- Matched filter: reduces minimum detectable SNR
from 14 dB to 4.5 dB, and improves detection efficiency
- ToF measurements: offers multi-parametric
analysis of flowing analytes
- GMR-based FCMs: increases portability and rapid
“sample-to-answer” measurement capability
