The consequences of mismatched buffers in spectral cell sorting

Although spectral flow cytometry has become a ubiquitous tool for cell analysis, the use of spectral cytometry on cell sorters requires additional considerations arising from the unique requirements of sorting workflows. Here, we show that care should be taken when ascertaining the purity of a sort on a spectral cell sorter, as the mismatch of buffers used for initial sample suspension and the buffers used for sort collection can affect the unmixing of the data, potentially giving rise to erroneous purity check results.

Back to the Future: Unleashing your cytometers spectral potential

With the recent growth in spectral flow cytometry many laboratories are investing in new spectral flow cytometers in order to maximise the information gathered about every cell. This study hypothesised that traditional cytometers already within many laboratories may be used as spectral cytometers and have shown using a range of different cytometers that data acquired may be unmixed after acquisition.
