- The plot FSC-H vs. FSC-A is used to discriminate doublets
from single cells. In this plot, all events falling outside the
diagonal are considered as a doublet. Doublet cells represent-
ing less than 5% of total cells can be ignored. If doublet cells
represent more than 5% of total cells, the formula to calculate
the number of cells in the population should be adapted as
follow:
