Flow cytometry panels are often developed on a specific instrument configuration, raising questions about performance when transferred to a different platform. In this webinar, we demonstrate the successful transfer of a multicolor spectral panel that was not originally designed for the ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer from Sony Biotechnology. We show that equivalent data quality and resolution can be achieved.

Using real experimental data, we explore differences in spread and resolution between 5-laser and 6-laser configurations. Also, we assess the impact of unmixing strategy, comparing spectral libraries to freshly prepared single stained controls, with optional examples using beads and cells. Attendees will gain practical insight into panel portability and unmixing best practices.

Key learning objectives:

• Understand how to transfer an existing spectral panel to the ID7000 while maintaining data quality
