Glossary
Side scatter
- The amount of laser light scattered at about a 90° angle to the axis of the laser beam.
The amount of side scatter is proportional to the granularity of the cell that scattered the laser light.
Side scatter (SS) sensor
- Collects the side scatter and generates voltage pulse signals.
Slider bars
- They appear on dual fluorescence plots when you enable QuickCOMP mode on the
Cytometer Control dialog box. These sliders are used to intuitively adjust the compensation
coefficients and update the compensation values in the Cytometer Control Compensation Tab.
Space
- A strip (or element) that is usually white and has maximum reflectance.
Specimen ID
- ID assigned to a Specimen draw as opposed to a tube.
SQL
- Standard query language.
Standard deviation (SD)
- A measure of difference from the mean. A measure of precision.
Standard Panel
- A panel that does not export results to the Report Generator.
Start and Stop characters
- The characters that start and end the bar-code symbol and show the scan
direction.
Symbology
- A set of rules for encoding and decoding information contained in a bar-code symbol.
Examples of symbologies include Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2-of-5, and Codabar.
TrueView
-
TrueView is a patented tool which provides the ability to optimally view
compensated
data. Using TrueView, you can display all 1,048,576 channels of data acquisition as well as
graphically display negative values in order to facilitate compensation. See also
TrueView Setup
.
Tube ID
- The Bar code ID on individual reaction sample tubes.
Voltage pulse signals
- The signals that the forward scatter, side scatter, and fluorescence sensors
generate. They are proportional to the intensity of light the sensor received.
Workstation
- The system component that runs the software that lets you control the instrument.
It displays sample results and other information.
