Greetings.
I would like to find out what the consensus is on the loss of fluorescence
of post sorted viable cells during re-analysis. I have seen this "quenching
or bleaching" several times on viable cells labeled with FITC, PE, or PE-CY5
tandem dyes. Is it normal to adjust the pre-sorted region (within a few
channels) to check the purity of the sort OR does one leave the region in
the exact position from the original sort equation? The laser used is a
15mW air-cooled argon, pressure is 15psi, Na azide free sheath fluid, all
viable cells are maintained at 4oC, "normal" surface immunophenotyping with
directly labeled MAb is employed . Any and all comments are appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
