Abstract

The current consensus recommendation papers dealing with the unique requirements for the validation of assays performed by flow cytometry address the validation of assay sensitivity only in general terms (1-3). In this paper, a detailed approach for designing and validating the sensitivity of rare event methods is described. The impact of panel design and optimization on the Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) as well as suggestions for reporting data near, or below, the LLOQ will be addressed. Thus, this paper will serve to provide best practices for the development, optimization, and validation of flow cytometric assays designed to assess rare events.
