Glossary
Pop-up window
- A rectangular area that appears on top of the current screen displayed on the
Workstation. You must close the window before you can use the current screen again.
Positives analysis
- Analysis performed on the negative control to set regions automatically to
exclude the negative population from the positives statistics.
Supply Cart
- The system component that provides direct current power, pressure, and vacuum to
the Cytometer, and collects waste from the Cytometer.
Precision
- Ability of an instrument to reproduce similar results when a sample is run repeatedly.
Precision shows the closeness of test results when repeated analyses of the same material are
performed. Also known as reproducibility. Contrast with accuracy.
PRIME region
- When a histogram Peak is not within a PRIME Region the system performs an
AutoPrime.
Printer
- An optional system component that provides a printout of sample results and other
information.
Prism
- Phenotype plot for multicolor analysis.
Prism histogram
- Histogram that displays the phenotype of an identified population.
Protocol
- A set of instructions that tells the Cytometer what and how to acquire data and replay
listmode data.
Quality control (QC)
- A comprehensive set of procedures a laboratory sets up to ensure that an
instrument is working accurately and precisely.
QuickCOMP
- Direct histogram manipulation to adjust Cytometer color compensation.
QuickSET
- Direct histogram manipulation to adjust Cytometer voltages and gain.
Quiet zone
- An area at each end of the bar-code symbol, which must be clear of marks, including
readable text.
RD1
- Abbreviation for phycoerythrin dye..
Runtime Protocol
- The Protocol stored with the listmode file at acquisition. Listmode replays
identical to the acquisition protocol.
Scroll bar
- The area on the right of a pop-up window. The bar's arrows let you move (scroll) the
window's content up or down so that you can see other parts of it. For example, the scroll bar in the
Resource Explorer lets you scroll through the entire list of protocol names.
Select
- To position the mouse cursor on an item, and then press and release a mouse button to
choose that item.
Self-checking
- A bar code that uses a checking algorithm to make sure the bar-code symbol was
read correctly.
Sensitivity
- The ability of the instrument to distinguish very low levels of light scatter and
fluorescence from background light or electronic noise.
Sheath fluid
- A balanced electrolyte solution.
