What to consider when selecting a digitizer for flow cytometry

  • High dynamic range is required to achieve superior image quality

  • High sampling rate enables high microfluidic channel flow rate and system-level throughput

  • Open FPGA is crucial for real-time image pre-processing

  • High data transfer rate is needed in order to support high-speed image post-processing and data storage

  • Peer-to-peer GPU streaming offers additional benefits for cell characterization​
