| Abstract |
To determine the precision of cellular fluorescence intensity (FI) measurements derived from labeled microbead standards, FI results were compared from 43 different flow cytometers in 34 laboratories. All laboratories analyzed prepared aliquots of fluoresceinated calf thymocyte nuclei (Fluorotrol), human lymphocytes stained with fluoresceinated anti-CD4 antibody, and fluoresceinated microbeads used as both internal and external standards. Results for percent of events within the gates and the histograms returned by participants indicated that the samples had remained stable and that gated populations had been properly identified. All standard curves showed strong linearity, and the pooled results from all standards produced a best-fit curve that was in close agreement with the assigned values. Nonetheless, results for cellular FI were highly variable, with CVs of 20-34%. Agreement within lab/instrument was much better, with CVs ranging from 3.0 to 9.9%. The overall variability was not obviously attributable to differences in the types of cytometer, nor could it be explained by attributes of the standard curves or any other single variable examined. |
