Index Sorting

Cited from How to Use FlowJo’s Script Editor with Index Sorted Data

Index sorting is a method that deposits individual cells from a heterogenous mixture into wells of a plate (96, 384, and so on). Sorted cells are usually selected by some criteria (such as GFP+ and CD11b+, but CD3-) and then channeled into an empty well. Cells that do not meet the specified criteria are shunted to a waste tube.

The cytometer that sorts the cells will export a file that specifies the locations of sorted cells into their respective wells by using some sort of keyword (such as Index_Sort_Positions, Tray_X, Tray_Y, and so on).
