    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for determining baseline noise of a photodetector (e.g., in a light detection system of a particle analyzer). Methods according to certain embodiments include irradiating a sample having particles in a flow stream, detecting light with the photodetector from the irradiated flow stream, generating data signals from the detected light and calculating a moving average mean squared error of the generated data signals to determine the baseline of the photodetector. Systems (e.g., particle analyzers) having a light source and a light detection system that includes a photodetector for practicing the subject methods are also described. Integrated circuits and non-transitory computer readable storage medium are also provided.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for adjusting a particle classification index in response to one or more saturated data signals from light detected from particles in a flow stream. Methods according to certain embodiments include detecting light from particles in a flow stream; generating a plurality of data signals from the detected light; identifying one or more saturated data signals; generating a saturated signal index that corresponds to the identified saturated data signals; and applying the saturated signal index to a particle classification index to generate an adjusted particle classification index. In some embodiments, methods include determining one or more parameters of a particle (e.g., for use in a particle sort decision) by calculating an adjusted spectral unmixing matrix for the fluorescence of the particle that excludes one or more saturated data signals. Systems and integrated circuit devices (e.g., a field programmable gate array) for practicing the subject methods are also provided. Non-transitory computer readable storage mediums are also described.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods for processing and displaying multi-channel spectral histograms. Methods according to certain embodiments include obtaining a histogram of cytometric data for a sample, wherein the cytometric data comprises measurements from particles irradiated in the sample flowing in a flow stream, generating the representation of the histogram by encoding the histogram, the encoding comprising: assigning a color to each histogram value in the representation of the histogram, and duplicating each color corresponding to each histogram value in the representation of the histogram a predetermined number of times, and using the representation of the histogram for displaying the histogram. Systems for practicing the subject methods are also provided. Non-transitory computer readable storage mediums are also described.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, devices, computer readable media, and methods for subsampling flow cytometric event data. First and second flow cytometric event data can be transformed into a lower-dimensional space, associated with a plurality of bins, and assigned to a first bin and a second bin. Subsampled flow cytometric event data comprising the first flow cytometric event data can be generated. The subsampled flow cytometric event data can comprise the second flow cytometric event data if the first bin and the second bin are different. The subsampled flow cytometric event data may not comprise the second flow cytometric event data if the first bin and the second bin are identical.
