Answer #1

The sample pressure regulator controls the diameter of the sample stream at the interrogation point change.

At low pressure, the cells of the sample travel from the interrogation point one at a time. Due to the increasing pressure the thickness of the core stream and the flow speed of the cells from the interrogation point increase. This results in the flow of more than one cell to bypass by the laser at a particular time which results in the assortment of coincident events.

The sheath fluid is derived through the flow chamber by the pressure of air supplied by the compressor. The exact pressure is applied to force the sample onto the sheath. The sample flow rate is regulated by the pressure regulator.
