This method, however, is clearly not applicable for day-to-day running and
adjustment of the cytometer. We have had very good results with beads from
Spherotech (1840 Industrial Dr. #270, Libertyville, IL 60048). They make beads
with multiple dyes in them that excite from the UV to the red and are quite
stable over time. We currently use their #NV4C1C18-RM20, which has good signal
and CV in the UV and matches your output spectral reqirements.
