Transferring Spectral Flow Cytometry Panels to the ID7000: Performance and Unmixing Considerations
Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at 8:00 PST | 11:00 EST | 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET
Flow cytometry panels are often developed on a specific instrument configuration, raising questions about performance when transferred to a different platform. In this webinar, we demonstrate the successful transfer of a multicolor spectral panel that was not originally designed for the ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer from Sony Biotechnology. We show that equivalent data quality and resolution can be achieved.
Using real experimental data, we explore differences in spread and resolution between 5-laser and 6-laser configurations. Also, we assess the impact of unmixing strategy with optional examples using beads and cells. Attendees will gain practical insight into panel portability and unmixing best practices.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how to transfer an existing spectral panel to the ID7000 while maintaining data quality
- Evaluate the impact of 5-laser versus 6-laser configurations on spread and resolution
- Apply practical strategies to optimize unmixing using beads and/or cells
Who should attend
This webinar is intended for flow cytometry users working with multicolor or spectral panels. Researchers considering panel transfer between platforms, core facility staff, and scientists interested in optimizing unmixing and instrument configuration choices will benefit from this presentation.
