Abstract
A qualitative and quantitative method of determining the fluorescence threshold of an instrument and of determining whether the instrument is sensitive enough to measure the autofluorescence of a sample. The method utilizes non-fluorescent particles such a microbeads which are run on a flow cytometer. The peak channel position of the microbeads is used as the fluorescence threshold.
