The Problem: If two cells are stuck together (a "doublet"), the machine might count them as one giant cell with double the DNA or protein markers, leading to false data. leading to false data.
4.1 The Problem
If two small lymphocytes pass through the laser simultaneously, the instrument may interpret them as a single event. This results in erroneous data interpretation—specifically, the DNA content or fluorescence intensity will appear artificially doubled.
