A flow cytometer. In one embodiment the flow cytometer includes a microchannel structure (352) adapted for transporting a fluid medium containing one or more types of particles (380a, 380b); means for generating electrokinetically microfluidic flows to transport the fluid medium in the microchannel structure (352) so as to differentiate the one or more types of particles (380a, 380b) the fluid medium therein; and an optical detection system (378a, 378b, 378c, 378d) coupled with the microchannel structure (352) fo detecting the differentiated one or more types of particles of the fluid medium. |
