Using Manual Drop Delay
This section describes the manual method of optimizing the drop delay.
1 Load a tube filled with a suspension of BD Accudrop beads (approximately
2 drops of beads in 0.5 mL PBS).
2 In the Laser tab of the Cytometer window, set the window extension to
zero.
3 Adjust the flow rate to achieve an event rate of 1,000–3,000 events per
second.
; Tip If this cannot be achieved using a flow rate setting between 1 and 5,
adjust the bead concentration.
4 Turn on the voltage in the Side Stream window. Click Sort in the Sort
Layout window.
5 Click Cancel at the Confirm dialog.
