Hi there,
Just a quick question.	Our group has been doing 'compensation' with FMOs
(Flourescence Minus One).  I have been saying that we really need single
positive controls to do the compensation accurately, but, because we are looking
for very rare cells, my boss has argued that they want to take into account all
the color interactions when compensating.  It is very difficult (for me) to do
compensation this way when I have been use to using single colors. What do
others think?  We are looking for a population that is .01 % of the entire
population and we are using 4 colors - Fitc, PE, PerCP and APC on a two laser
Calibur.
Thanks so much for your responses!
Cheers,
