First, pos-neg gating. Ideal controls are your actual antibodies on the actual cells. However different antibodies bind different cells (see: CD4 vs XCR1 below), meaning they have different backgrounds to control. AutoSpectral matches the FSC-SSC of each pos to a suitable neg: with results!

Anyone ever run into this situation?
Ran our RNA samples on the Qubit for their RNA IQ assay and it came out looking great (9/10) but was absolute dogdish on the bioanalzyer (RINs in the 2's).
