Greetings Earthling,
Did you know...The mantis shrimp has SIXTEEN color-receptive cones which allow it to see a MASSIVE spectrum of color that human brains aren't even capable of processing (we only have 3 types of cones). Good thing the mantis shrimp will never get to design multicolor flow cytometry antibody panels... and good thing Boster has 6 helpful tips for humans to make multicolor panels right here! Click the shrimps for more FACS resources.

Troubleshooting guidesFACS antibodies multicolor panel design
- Always try to pair the brightest fluorochromes with the weakest expressing antigen. In case the expression level of an antigen is unknown, it is advisable to use brighter fluorochromes.
- Avoid spillover or spectral overlap between fluorochromes by spreading them as much as possible across the spectrum.
- Avoid fluorochromes that can be excited by more than one laser e.g. APC-Cy7.
- Always include suitable compensation controls (see our FACS resources for details) especially if points 3 and 4 above cannot be achieved.
- It is also advisable to use FMO controls (see our FACS resources for details) to gate differently stained sub-populations more accurately.
- Consider using online multicolor panel designers provided by FACS technology companies e.g. fluorofinder.com.
Example: A suitable 4-color panel to illustrate points 1-3. The color of the boxes correspond to the lasers that excite the respective fluorochromes.
