RE: FACScan side scatter "blips"
We also see the "blips" in SSC. Our DB service engineer and us came
to a conclusion that they are caused by microbubbles (we agree with
Judy). They are NOT caused by electrical surges (we have a good
voltage regulator in line). We do not deal with them during acquisition
(keep acquiring the sample) but we "cut"/gate them out in our analysis
(make a plot of SSC vs TIME (Winlist)). That way you do not have to abort long
acquisition and lose the sample.
