ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for characterizing cells in a biological liquid sample and operating according to the Coulter principle. The apparatus has a disposable sensor unit and a docking station for removably receiving the sensor unit. The sensor unit housing contains electrodes in each of two chambers separated by a wall containing an orifice. The housing is adapted to contain and retain for disposal liquid pumped through the orifice during particle characterization operations.
