Start with 20 free questions, then review the explanations and any topics you missed.
On a pressure-driven cytometer, increasing sample flow broadens the fluorescence peak of uniform DNA-stained nuclei. Diluting the sample at high flow does not narrow the peak, and repeated low–high–low flow changes reproducibly narrow, broaden and narrow it. Which mechanism best explains this finding?
