ABSTRACT:
A system and method of mixing and injecting discrete sample mixtures into a flow cytometer or other sample analysis apparatus may generally comprise a sample injection guide coupling a liquid handling apparatus with a sample analysis apparatus and facilitating injection of discrete sample mixtures into a fluidic system of the apparatus.
