## Overview

flow-cytometry covers multicolor flow cytometry from panel design to analyzed data: fluorochrome
selection, compensation and controls, gating strategies, and the QC that keeps cytometry honest.
Flow generates single-cell data on millions of cells in minutes — but panel-design errors and
bad gating produce confident-looking wrong answers at the same speed.

## When to use

- Designing antibody panels: fluorochrome assignment, spillover minimization.
- Controls: unstained, FMO, isotype, biological controls, viability dyes.
- Compensation: setup, validation, when to use beads vs cells.
- Gating: hierarchical strategies, doublet exclusion, dump channels.
- Analysis: manual gating vs automated clustering (FlowSOM, UMAP).
