* This table provides general guidance with respect to the relative capability of different fluorochromes to resolve dimly stained populations; it is not a representation of absolute fluorescence. Rankings were determined by comparing the stain index (resolution) of cells stained with multiple formats on several clones run on a variety of flow cytometers. Many factors can influence the relative fluorochrome/reagent performance on a given instrument, including laser power, PMT voltage, optical filters, antibody clone and biological sample.
