An apparatus (10) having scattering and multi-color fluorescence detecting, analyzing and identification capabilities of blood or other fluids of interest. The sample to be tested may be entered in a disposable microfluidic cartridge (14) which in turn is insertable in a hand-holdable or implantable miniaturized and portable cytometer instrument (10). This cytometer (10) has significant application in biological warfare agent detection, hematology and other clinical and research fields. |
