The invention relates to the technical field of cytobiology, and in particular relates to a photoelectric
signal peak value detection method and device for a flow cytometer, and the flow cytometer. According to the method and the device, later appearing
peak value points can be judged after a
peak value point is determined according to an uplink threshold value, a downlink threshold value and a peak value threshold value by setting the uplink threshold value, the downlink threshold value and the peak value threshold value instead of zeroing signals from external input; furthermore, a peak value
delay can be conveniently obtained, and the moment that the peak value point appears can be inferred from the peak value
delay. Therefore, the device can quickly and precisely judge the peak value point and supply the moment that the peak value point appears, so that basis is supplied to
cell subset classification and time
delay charging and screening of the flow cytometer. Moreover, compared with a conventional method based on micro
processing units such as a singlechip and a
digital signal processor (DSP), the photoelectric
signal peak value detection method for the flow cytometer based on a
field programmable logic gate array has the advantages that the
programming difficulty is lower, the calculating speed is higher, and the operation is more stable.
