A riot of marsupials — mammals with brood pouches — and sloths in the south contrasted with camels, horses, pronghorn antelopes and saber tooth cats in the north. Biologists thought that only after the isthmus formed did animals surge north and south, what biologists refer to as the Great American Biotic Interchange or GABI.

Flow Cytometry Threshold in High-Speed Cell Sorting: Optimizing Performance on the Bigfoot™ Spectral Cell Sorter

|

The flow cytometry threshold determines which events are acquired and evaluated by an instrument, making it a foundational control point for data quality and downstream analysis. However, threshold considerations differ significantly between flow cytometry analyzers and high-speed cell sorters. In cell sorting workflows, threshold placement directly influences abort rates, sort efficiency, recovery, and overall instrument performance.
