The problem is the FACScan can't deal with FL1 vs. FL3 directly. The
FITC fluorescence is bleeding all the way into FL3. Either live with
it (i.e. don't look at FL1 vs. FL3 simultaneously) or use off-line
software that allows formula compensation (WinList, FCAP, NOT
CELLQUEST, etc.). I believe Cytomation may sell machines that don't
rely on hardware compensation??

The PerCP beads allow compensation to be consistent, convenient and
easy (especially if you have the newest FACSComp on a FACStation), but
can't solve the FL1 overlap.

Paul J Jansen here,
In the past we have used cychrome (??spell??) as a "third"
color on our one laser Facscan. The problem we had with it was
difficult to compensate between FL1 and FL3. We are considering using
PerCP now and I would like to know if anyone has experience with it.
BD has promised to throw in calibrite beads capable of doing the three
color compensation. Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Thanx Paul J
