Abstract

A flow cell for a particle analyzer using an electrical sensing zone method, includes: a detecting member having a through hole; a first cell for supplying a particle containing liquid to the through hole; a second cell for receiving and discharging the particle containing liquid that has passed through the through hole; electrodes provided in the first cell and the second cell respectively, for supplying an electrical current to the liquid passing through the through hole; and a sliding member for sliding at least one of the first and second cells to change a distance therebetween; wherein the first and second cells cooperate with the sliding member to detachably sandwich the detecting member therebetween so that the detecting member is connected to the first and second cells in a watertight state.
