Unlock the power of flow cytometry with fluorescence controls that provide workflow efficiency.

Flow cytometry today requires precise controls for accurate data. Controls from Slingshot Biosciences are designed to support easier analysis workflows with their cell-like attributes (size, scatter, and autofluorescence).

Stay ahead of the game with cutting-edge controls designed to provide reliable results you can trust.

Spectral Unmixing

SpectraComp® are single stain controls that optimize spectral unmixing results to reduce errors associated with spectral overlap.
