Glossary
Accuracy
- The ability of an instrument to agree with a predetermined reference value at any point
within the operating range. Contrast with precision.
APC - Abbreviation for allophycocyanin dye.
ASCII
- Abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. An ASCII file is a type
of text file.
Assay values
- Values for a control established by extensive repeat testing of that control.
AutoGate
- A gate that automatically sizes to the population contained within the boundaries of the
region. There are two types: Elliptical and Contour.
AutoSetup Wizard
- A software feature that guides you through the processing of quality control
materials to automatically establish your application settings.
Background count
- Measure of the amount of electrical or particle interference.
Bar
- A strip (or element) that is usually black and has minimum reflectance.
Bar-code symbol
- A group of parallel bars and spaces with encoded characters. A bar-code symbol
generally contains a leading quiet zone, a start character, data characters, a check character, a stop
character, and a trailing quiet zone.
BP filter
- A band-pass optical filter that passes a band of wavelengths and blocks others.
Button
- The Workstation screens have pictures/icons (for example, ) that you select with the
mouse to tell the software what to do. They are arranged on Toolbars for related functions.
CAL Factor
- A number used in conjunction with a known number of particles identified by a CAL
region, that adjusts the region counts obtained.
Channel
- In an analog-to-digital converter, the number of equally spaced divisions of the amplified
input signal voltage. All Navios flow cytometer signals are resolved into 1024 channels. For dual-
parameter histograms, the number of channels is reduced to 64, 128, or 256.
Character
- The smallest group of elements that makes a number, letter, or punctuation mark.
Check character (digit, check digit, checksum)
- A character used to mathematically check that the
bar-code symbol was read correctly.
Cleaning agent
- A detergent used to flush sample from tubing and minimize protein buildup.
Click
- To press and release a mouse button.
Coefficient of variation (CV%)
- A measure of the variability in signal intensity that is generated as
particles pass repeatedly through the laser beam. This variability is expressed as a percentage of the
average signal intensity.
Collimate
- To make parallel (for example, collimate rays of light).
