Abstract
Hydrogel beads with quantifiable attached biomolecules and their use as cell mimics in cytometric applications are described. The cell mimics described herein are selectively tunable to have at least one optical property substantially similar to the at least one optical property of a target cell (e.g., CD34+ stem cell). The disclosure further relates to methods of using the disclosed cell mimics as enrichment controls in cytometric applications.
