Illustrating example of the differences in the light scatter characteristics of the major subsets of peripheral blood leukocytes observed for the distinct lysing solutions and staining protocols. Please note the significant reduction in the light scatter CV for the different leukocyte populations observed with FACS Lysing Solution and a SLW protocol (red square). Events shown in the upper-left corner of each dot plot correspond to PerfectCOUNT beads (Cytognos SL) introduced for the evaluation of cell loss. SLW, stain-lyse-wash; SLWF, stain-lyse-wash-fix; SLNW, stain-lyse-no wash.
