Abstract

See full text

Methods of evaluating particle attributes in a sample fluid subjected to flow cytometry investigation in a flow cytometer instrument, methods of processing time series signal data traces output by a flow cytometer instrument, and a flow cytometer system are provided. In the methods and systems, data points comprising time series signal data traces corresponding with detection during the flow cytometry investigation of light from the sample fluid in one or more wavelength ranges indicative of the presence of one or more particle attributes in the sample fluid are batch-processed using a batch-specific signal peak threshold determined as a function of a batch-specific noise characteristic to identify signal peaks in the batch of data points indicative of the presence of the one or more particle attributes in the sample fluid.
