Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include flow cytometers configured to compensate for optical noise caused by operational change of a laser. Flow cytometers according to certain embodiments include a laser assessor configured to assess operational change of a laser. In embodiments, the laser assessor includes a reference detector and a mirror positioned between the reference detector and the flow cell that is configured to reflect forward scattered light to a forward scatter detector and allow non-scattered laser light to pass through to the reference detector. Methods for assessing laser functionality and, where desired, dynamically adjusting flow cytometer data, based on laser reference data from the laser assessor are also provided.
