+We perform daily **Cytometer Setup & Tracking (CST)** on our cytometers using BD CS&T research beads to track performance metrics such as detection efficiency, standard deviation of electronic noise, laser current, and optical background.\\
+If there is a major alteration over time, we troubleshoot the problem to solve it as promptly as possible.

+We also run **Rainbow 8 peak Beads (RB)** as a routine calibration of the flow cytometers to evaluate the linearity of the system.

+These RB 8 peak beads are also specific for following the EuroFlow(TM) standardization guidelines.\\

-You can check the CST results for each system on Diva (go to Cytometer -> Performance Tracking (LJ)).\\
 Please contact us if you want to check the CST or RB values for a particular date.
