T -コネクタ(スモールパーツ)はフローチャンバーの一方のアームに取り付けられています。二つのシリンジポンプ(ブレーントリーサイエンティフィック)は、コネクタの他の支店に接続されています。他のパート1で調製した細胞懸濁液を含むのに対して、一つのシリンジは、空気を含んでいます。に流量を設定する100μL/分。
エアフォームの小さなポケットまで、フローチャンバーの小さいチューブを抽出し、そのスロットの0.37の開口数と直径1mmのコア光ファイバを挿入する。インタフェース信号を削減し、流路に適用されるレーザー光の量を増やすために水でポケットをいっぱいに。流路に光ファイバと短い距離の開口数のために、レーザーは、直接レーザーの目の前のサンプルでは、光音響信号を作成する場合は、サンプルであることを保証する、任意の時点でサンプルの一つスラグを照射します。レーザーのエネルギーは7 mm 2のスポットサイズで約28ミリジュール/ cm 2とする必要があります。
