Viability staining with 7AAD -Reply

In response to Jan Nelsons question,
We routinely run ISHAGE CD34PE/ CD45FITC with 7-AAD and Flowcount
Fluorospheres, to obtain an absolute CD34 count on a single tube. On the
Coulter XL the bead is counted in the third channel (625BP) and 7-AAD in
the fourth channel (675BP).  To reiterate Dave Coder's point
compensation between FL4-FL2 is critical and should be done using a
CD4 or CD8 PE to ensure you can see the spectral overlap from FL2 to
FL4 (there are so few CD34+ cells in most samples it is not practical to
compensate using this MoAb). 
Contact me directly if you would like more info Jan.
