Webinar BioRad Simplifying Flow Cytometry with No/Low Compensation
Panels
Learn how to design no compensation panels
The presentation by Dr. Sharon Sanderson will be supplemented by English, Mandarin (Simplified
Chinese) and Japanese subtitles, followed by a live Q&A.
Advances in technology and increased fluorescent dye choice means there are more pitfalls to
navigate during panel design. However, some simple steps can be followed to make this less
daunting and help you get the right data first time. Often biological questions can be answered with
low plex panels where careful design can avoid compensation steps, making experiments simpler
and quicker.
In this webinar, we describe a seven-step process for panel design that has been followed to
generate human and mouse no/low compensation immunophenotyping panels. These panels
generate data of a high quality, but with simplified acquisition and analysis. They also work as a
backbone framework to build higher plex panels and save on reagents and time. We will show you
how you can build your own no/low compensation panels for conventional instruments, that will
also work for spectral systems too, enabling you to generate reliable and reproducible results.
