Abstract
A system for detecting when a core stream in a channel of a flow device is adequate for sufficient data accession. The system may determine the time period from the beginning of a sample run in a channel of a flow device to when the core stream is adequate. Data of detected FALS versus SALS light scattered by particles of the core stream may be plotted in data frames during a series of time intervals. The quality of the grouping and count rate of the data may indicate which frame and corresponding time interval reveal an adequate core stream.
