Characterization of flow cytometer instrument sensitivity.
Fluorescence sensitivity, measured in terms of resolution, allows the researcher to more accurately answer the question of how dim a cell can be and still be resolvable from another population. This measure focuses on the width, i.e., the standard deviation, of the population distributions and not on the location, i.e., the mean intensity, of populations on a histogram scale relative to the bac...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity instrument for measuring atmospheric NO2.
We report on the development of a high-sensitivity detection system for measuring atmospheric NO2 using a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique around 440 nm. A tunable broad-band optical parametric oscillator laser pumped by the third harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser is used as a fluorescence excitation source. The laser wavelength is tuned at peak and bottom wavelengths around 440 nm alternati...
متن کاملSensitivity of fluorochrome microscopy for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis versus nontuberculous mycobacteria.
The results for 6,532 consecutive mycobacterial respiratory specimens collected from 1,040 patients from 1993 to 1995 in a Texas hospital were studied to determine the sensitivity of fluorescence microscopy for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Smears were positive for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) in 63% (677 of 1,082) of specimens growing M. tuberculosis...
متن کاملAutomated Quadratic Characterization of Flow Cytometer Instrument Sensitivity
Flow cytometer sensitivity has been well defined in the community and relates to two functions: (1) How well a dim staining population is resolved from an unstained population; (2) How well various dim staining populations can be distinguished from each other. The most common terms for characterizing flow cytometer sensitivity are known as Q (detector efficiency) and B (background light level),...
متن کاملflowQB – Automated Quadratic Characterization of Flow Cytometer Instrument Sensitivity*
This package provides methods to calculate flow cytometer’s detection efficiency (Q) and background illumination (B) by analyzing LED pulses and multi-level bead sets. The method improves on previous formulations Wood (1998); Hoffman and Wood (2007); Chase and Hoffman (1998) by fitting a full quadratic model with appropriate weighting, and by providing standard errors and peak residuals as well...
