Hello,

As you probably read earlier, we have a HP based
FACScan.  We are interested in quantifying antigens
expressed per lymphocyte and are thinking of using the
Quantibrite beads.  In the "white paper" on
Quantibrite beads that we downloaded from the BD
website, we noticed that they have used Cell Quest
that calculates the "Geometric mean", while we are
planning to use FACS research software that calculates
the "mean".

Does it matter?

With warm regards,

Sandeep.
