Abstract Sample multiplexing in flow cytometry is a powerful technique which allows for reduction of error, inclusion of control samples for batch effect correction, and reduction in both time and consumable usage. Current industry standard for barcoding in mass cytometry is an intracellular reagent, which requires fixation and permeabilization of sample prior to barcoding. We developed a barcode using the ubiquitous and well-tolerated membrane labeling lectin, wheat germ agglutinin.
