Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate, for the first time, fluorescence lifetime measurements by amplitude demodulation from fluorescence signals with time dependent amplitudes in a flow cytometer using digital data acquisition techniques. The lifetime measurements in the flow cytometer have been compared to standard fluorescent lifetime measurements in bulk suspensions. The present technique provides a method for analyzing chemical and biological species based upon their individual excited state lifetime. We also discuss the factors influencing the accuracy of the measurements by this method and the possible solutions to those problems.
