Flow Check Particles

Dear all,

I have an enquiry with regards to the flow check paticles that are used for
assessing the optical alignment of the flow cytometer.

In our work, we are dealing with bacteria of a size range as small as 0.5um.
The flow check we are currently using is the 10um Flow Check Fluorosphere
from Coulter. Noting the relatively large difference in size of the flow
check particles and the cells that we are analysing, does this introduce a
significant amount of error in the sense that the instrument may not be
optimally aligned fot the analysis of such small paticles?

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards
