Hello!

I am a beginner for flow cytometry. I am working with NG-108 and PC-12 for apoptosis. I used Annexin V-FITC and PI for detection. However, I got diagonal pattern when plotting FL1 against FL3. Someone said that this is a auto-fluorescence pattern. So, do anyone experience the same auto-fluorescence problem with this two cell line? I removed the phenol red from the medium and tried auto-fluorescence compensation but the problem was still there. Do anyone have another method to solve this problem? Thanks!
