This chapter offers an introductory yet comprehensive explanation of the scientific principles that form the foundation of spectral cytometry. Specifically, it delves into the unmixing processes that are utilized for data analysis.

Spectral flow cytometry is a rapidly growing area of flow cytometry and, in this blog, we look at the basic principles and the advantages over conventional flow cytometry.

Spectral flow cytometry is a newer technology where all of the detectors in the instrument are used to examine all of the fluorophores in the panel. There is one manufacturer that uses the term “full spectrum flow cytometry”, which is just another term for spectral flow cytometry.

For decades, traditional polychromatic cell analysis by flow cytometry has used a combination of filters and mirrors to detect only a fraction of the emission spectrum (color) of each fluorochrome.
