“Rules” for selecting Multicolor Panel • takenfrom BD Biosciences Rule 1: Choosethebrightestsetoffluorochromes for your particular instrumentconfiguration. Rule 2: Choosefluorochromesso as to minimize thepotential for spillover. Rule 3: Reserve thebrightestfluorochromes for “dim” antibodies, and vice versa. Rule 4: Avoidspilloverfrombrightcellpopulationsintodetectorsrequiringhighsensitivity for thosepopulations. Rule 5: Takesteps to avoid tandem dyedegradation, andconsideritsimpactuponresults.
