Panel design is a critical yet challenging aspect of flow cytometry studies, requiring a complex balance of biology and physics. When pairing fluorophores to markers, users must consider antigen density, cytometer configuration, fluorophore brightness, and spillover. BD Research Cloud is a new collaboration tool that combines a feature rich cloud environment with a panel creation resource that removes the bottleneck of complex design. Join us as we review basic principles of panel design and how the BD Research Cloud, as well as other BD resources, can facilitate this process.
