The company plays an active role in standardization and has coordinated numerous national and international surveys concerning comparison and standardization of flow cytometric data.

Our Mission

The goal of Flow Cytometry Standards Corporation is to develop fluorescence standards to help the research and clinical community conduct studies and evaluate data in an easier, more precise manner. The establishment of any standard is an evolutionary process requiring collaboration and participation not only among individual scientists, but also between private companies and public agencies. Flow Cytometry Standards Corporation is dedicated to such an evolutionary process and looks forward to working with individuals and institutions to achieve a better and more universal methodology of standardization in flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, image analysis, and other fluorescence analytical applications.
