Background:The tools for high throughput flow cytometry have been limited in part because of the requirement that the samples
must flow under pressure. We describe a simple system for sampling repetitively from an open vessel. Methods:Under
computer control, the sample is loaded into a sample loop in a reciprocating eight-way valve by the action of a syringe. When
the valve position is switched, the plug of sample in the sample loop is transported to the flow cytometer by a pressure-driven
fluid line. By coupling the plug-forming capability to a second multi-port valve, samples can be delivered sequentially from
separate vessels. Results:The valve is able to deliver samples at rates ranging up to about 9 samples per minute. Each plug of
sample has uniform delivery characteristics with a reproducible coefficient of variation (CV). Even at the highest sampling rate,
carryover between samples is limited. Conclusions:Plug-flow flow cytometry has the potential to automate the delivery of small
samples from unpressurized sources at rates compatible with many screening and assay applications. Copyright 1999
