Table 2. Measurements needed for flow cytometry analysis.

The voltage guidelines are provided here only as aides for setting up a template. They must be adjusted by the user such that all measurements are on-scale for the instrument’s specific lasers and set-up. Different instruments may have different voltage settings or may not have voltage controls.

Name Scale Approximate voltage guidelines for HeLa cells
SSC-A Linear ~275
FSC-A Linear ~220
SSC-H Linear No Recommendation
SSC-W Linear No Recommendation
Filter Set: Ex. 488 nm, Em. 530 ± 15 nm Log ~275
Filter Set: Ex. 405 nm, Em. 525 ± 25 nm Log ~250
