We used the Slingshot particles to demonstrate the principles of compensation. These principles will be the same for any other tissues but the particles themselves are suitable for blood markers only.
Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice on an issue with BD FACSLyric flow cytometer. I used the 7 beads and the 5 beads for creating lyse wash and lyse no wash settings. After configuring the settings, I conducted a compensation check using the same tubes as single-color controls and noticed problems with both overcompensation and undercompensation. I used the median values to check this. The CS&T results were good and Passed. Has anyone else experienced this? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!".
Hi Safa! Thank you so much for reaching out. Unfortunately I personally don't have experience with the BD FACSLyric flow cytometer. When you ran the single color controls can I ask if you made sure you used the same antibody fluor conjugate as what was in your panel? Did you check to make sure that the single color was as bright as your experimental sample? The CS&T passing performance check is great, but I'm more curious about how the single colors were compared to your full stained sample.
Thank you so much for giving this lecture!! As a flow beginner, I found this is super helpful!!
can use the kit on other tissues not just blood?
