Cytek QC Beads?
Hello, flow cytometer users!
Our lab recently got a Cytek Aurora and we are pretty much happy about it so far.
In terms of maintenance, the technician from Cytek ask us to perform QC beads running everyday prior to any measurement of the day.
But, I am genuinely curious if I can save some beads by doing the QC procedures maybe weekly.
It is partly because, in my previous workplace, I had a weekly beads-based calibration for BD flow cytometers.
If you're in the lab with Cytek Aurora, how do you guys maintain the instrument?
Do you run QC beads everyday?
If you have any suggestion, that would be wonderful!
