Cell viability dyes are critical controls for proper flow cytometry analysis. Dead cells can skew data by causing cell aggregation, contributing to cellular autofluorescence or nonspecifically binding detection antibodies. This is especially problematic when measuring...
Flow cytometry gating can often seem like a daunting task. While there is no single solution, experienced cytometrists can recommend several tips beyond “praying for good data”. Here we define gating, explore gating methodologies, and provide some useful tips for...
This month we explore the ever-expanding selection of commercially available fluorescent antibodies and how researchers are getting better data by designing more colorful panels. Sections: Research Trend Toward More Colors Suppliers Expanding Fluorescent Catalogs...
FluoroFinder has integrated cytometer configurations for over 500 cores! (You can check for yours here). With so many researchers now using FluoroFinder to design their flow cytometry experiments, we wanted to share some of the excellent feedback we have received....
