If you schedule a sorter we will assume that you will be dropping off samples for the staff to run. If you plan on sorting frequently after hours you may request to be trained to run the sorters unassisted. More information on training can be found here.

Configurations and Suggested Fluorophores
When designing a panel, only one fluorophore per row should be used – it is not possible to distinguish fluorophores/dyes from others within in that same row. These tables are also posted on the physical cytometers to refer to the detectors used to identify each fluorophore. These tables do not include a complete list of all fluorophores, only those that are commonly used.
