Verifying Cytometer Configuration and User
Preferences
1 Choose Cytometer > View Configurations and verify the current
parameters.
If changes are necessary, contact your Lab Manager.
2 Verify that the filters are appropriate to run FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5,
PE-Cy7, APC, and APC-Cy7 fluorochromes.
3 Choose Edit > User Preferences and deselect all options in the General tab.
See Figure 5-9 on page 78.
Do not change the cytometer configuration without consulting
BD Biosciences. Doing so can invalidate results.
For accurate data results, the octagon and trigon arrays must match the
current Cytometer Configuration.
