Rule 2Minimize Potential Spillover
![Page 21: What is Flow Cytometry ?](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102819/5681432c550346895daf9c08/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Spillover (Minimize spillover)
A single fluorochrome can be detected in more than one channel
Spectral Overlap Correcting spillover

Compensation
Compensation is a mathematical subtraction to correct spectral overlap

“Rules” for selecting Multicolor Paneltaken from BD Biosciences
Rule 1: Choose the brightest set of fluorochromes for your particular instrument configuration.
Rule 2: Choose fluorochromes so as to minimize the potential for spillover.
Rule 3: Reserve the brightest fluorochromes for “dim” antibodies, and vice versa.
Rule 4: Avoid spillover from bright cell populations into detectors requiring high sensitivity for those populations.
Rule 5: Take steps to avoid tandem dye degradation, and consider its impact upon results.
