Practical advice to set up and troubleshoot your flow cytometry experiment for immune monitoring.
The Scatter Profile is Unusual
Incorrect instrument settings can lead to an unusual scatter profile. Check your settings and adjust them if necessary. A compromised sample can also cause distortion of the scatter plot. For example, if blood cells are handled inappropriately, have been starved or otherwise stressed, some may undergo degranulation, activation or even cell death, which impact the data collected by the cytometer. Thus, prepare and handle your sample with care during staining.
