Hello Deborah,

I have used Sphero rainbow calibration particles from Spherotec inc. (cat
no. RCP-30-5A) on our ELITEs with success they have 8 fluorescence peaks
(of which I can resolve 6 on a good day). I have used them as a one-off to
check linearity/sensitivity and have also 'spiked' them into samples as an
internal standardisation control -if anyone would like a copy of the excel
formula that processes the values they can contact me directly.


Best regards,


Arnold.
