System architecture and workflow of microfluidic flow cytometry.

Caption

Microfluidic flow cytometry integrates four key functional modules—fluid driving, cell focusing, signal detection, and data analysis—to enable single-cell analysis in a miniaturized platform. The workflow illustrates how cells are introduced into a microfluidic channel, focused for single-cell detection, and converted into quantitative or categorical results through signal acquisition and data analysis.
