4 Software The SP68 software is easy to learn and use. It guides researchers from set-up to panel design, acquisition, analysis, and shutdown. User preferences allow users and administrators set up options for overall instrument operation and experiment set up to facilitate use and unattended operation procedures. System Start Up At start up Align Check and Performance QC wizards check instrument calibrations, using beads to ensure the instrument is operating optimally. On screen instructions guide the user through procedures, then display progress and report results. The performance report displays MESF, Q, and B values to describe real-time fluorescence detection performance. If desired, Align Check and Performance QC reports can be displayed in historical context. Standardization Standardization mode sets the system to a master specification to eliminate variability in a single instrument or among instruments located across sites. This unique capability allows experiments performed on any Sony cell analyzer to produce highly reliable, accurate, and reproducible results. This function also eliminates setup subjectivity for collaborative or long term studies with different operators or experience levels across sites. When engaged, standardization mode sets the SP68 to predetermined global settings that eliminate instrument variability. 4

5 Spectral Library The Spectral Library lets users create a personal reagent library that simplifies experiment creation and saves time. An Acquisition Wizard assists the users with step by step instructions to acquire and analyze single positive controls for your spectral library. Once acquired the spectral reference for that reagent including the spectral index are available for future use. Information from the spectral library is available to users with a simple click improving accuracy and streamline panel design. Experiment Creation Experiments can be created using a template, an existing experiment, a single stained, or multicolor assay, in the Create Experiment window. Users can point and click to choose (or edit) an existing experiment and can easily select templates for wells or plates when creating a new experiment. A setup Assay Wizard guides users through the creation of a singlestained or multicolor assay simplifying experiment creation. Acquisition Functions and Analysis All acquisition functions, including instrument settings are controlled from the Acquisition Window. Worksheet tools let users choose how the data is displayed- (such as plot types), and customize for their analysis needs. Plots and statistics provide real-time information during acquisition. To increase sample acquisition to the cuvette, a variable booster lets users set acquisition speed from low (33ul/min) normal or high (25ul/min) offering flexibility. System Shutdown On shutdown, the SP68 software guides the user though pre shutdown cleaning and shuts down the instrument automatically. Software wizards are also available to guide users through Bleach Cleaning and Rinse procedures. 5

7 Spectral Analysis Technology Spectral analysis technology is the foundation of the SP68 system. Spectral flow cytometry streamlines workflow and yields better data by keeping all the light collected. In conventional systems, overlapping fluorescence is subtracted using color compensation, so less light is collected. Instead, spectral flow cytometers sum the fluorescence together and then use unmixing to mathematically separate the colors. This powerful capability also simplifies workflow including panel design, and improves visualization of autofluorescence. LD-488_A E A unique prism collection system delivers emitted light to a 32 channel PMT. This produces 66 data points of signal detection for fluorescence and bright auto fluorescence to achieve accurate visualizations of fluorescent populations. This lets researchers see the complete spectral fingerprint of each fluorochrome from 42nm to 8nm Wavelengths Visualization of fluorescent cell populations using the analyzer s unique prism collection system. Spectral Unmixing A powerful capability of spectral technology is Unmixing. This allows researchers to separate fluorophores into pure signals that measure the quantity of each fluorophore at each pixel to more accurately measure data for analysis. = Spectral Unmixing separates each spectral fingerprint for complete and optimal visualization of fluorochromes. Spectral unmixing separates each spectral fingerprint to better visualize each fluorochrome marker. Unlike conventional filtering where overlapping signals are lost, spectral unmixing captures the photons emitted from 42nm to 8nm. In doing so it enhances dim signal detection for better visualization of rare populations, fluorescent proteins and fluorochromes excited by multiple lasers. CD4_APC_A E: 95.81% G: 2.18% F: 1.28% Unmixing CD4_APC_A E: 95.65% G: 8.63% F: 1.42% This also lets researchers separate the spectra of fluorophores masked by autofluorescence by extracting it from the signal and creating it into a unique fluorescent parameter. With a clear signal for each color channel unaffected by overlapping signals (spillover) and autofluorencence, spectral analysis yields better, unbiased data for analysis. - 1 IL2_PE_A A Unstained cells High Auto-fluorescence B - 1 PE Positive cells IL2_PE_A Spectral analysis reduces false-positives and delivers more accurate analysis over conventional flow cytometry. Mouse splenocytes were stained with CD4 APC and anti-il-2 PE. A. In this conventional density plot it is unclear if the light-blue region is a dim PE, weak double positive, or non-specific binding. B. Using Spectral analysis the spectral data of each region is compared against the Spectral Library to unmix the sample. This reveals the light blue region is high auto-fluorescence.

8 Uniform measurement of Fluorescent Emissions A correction system adjusts the offset and sensitivity of each channel of the 32 channel PMT to ensure a uniform and accurate measurement of fluorescent emission from 42nm to 8nm. The corrective system brings a standardization to all 32 PMTs ensuring the user is getting the most reliable data with the ease of adjusting only one voltage. This saves time over conventional flow cytometry operation where users must calibrate each individual PMT.

Each graph illustrates pre and post correction in the SP68 32 channel PMT. The correction improves accuracy of spectral visualization. Spectral emission of PE Cy5 pre and post correction. Corrections support accurate unmixing of closely overlapping fluorescence spectra. Subtracting Auto-Fluorescence Improves Visualization In conventional flow cytometry cellular auto-fluorescence produced by pyridine (NAD/NADH), flavin (FMN, FAD), and other intracellular oxidative reactions can cause fluorescent signal contamination of other fluorescent markers. Other common sources of autofluorescence include cell fixation and permeabilization. Using spectral technology, auto-fluorescent spectral fingerprints can be subtracted to allow researchers to see the true fluorescent population. Alexa Fluor 7_A A.

Using the spectral fingerprints obtained in analysis, the appropriate auto-fluorescence can be removed, increasing the precision and quality of results. Auto-fluorescence can result in the appearance of additional cell populations leading to erroneous data interpretation. A. T cells expressing GFP and stained with an antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor 7 were analyzed with the SP68. A double positive population is present in the uncorrected density plot. B. This double positive population disappears when the autofluorescent spectral fingerprint is subtracted. C. Liposomes from cells expressing GFP were analyzed. D. This uncovered a small positive GFP population after auto-fluorescence was subtracted. 8
