Slingshot Biosciences

Get the biological relevance you need without the variability and handling burden of PBMCs. TBNK Mimic™ is lyophilized, stable for long-term use, and contains no biohazardous material—providing a dependable control for daily QC, assay validation, and longitudinal monitoring.

Variability between instruments, sites, and workflows is one of the overlooked obstacles to manufacturing readiness. Kristin Lind, Ph.D., our Technical Product Manager, is leading a roundtable on it at the Advanced Therapies Xchange – San Francisco: 🔍Standardizing Flow Cytometry and QA Across Cell Therapy Development and Manufacturing 🗓️8 September 2026 | 09:05–10:05 We'll be covering where assay variability actually originates, what it costs teams moving from development into manufacturing, and whether standardized synthetic controls can reduce the need for bridging studies across sites! #CellTherapy #FlowCytometry #CellAndGeneTherapy #AdvancedTherapies

Slingshot SpectraComp® synthetic cell controls deliver cell-like spectral performance without the cells: ✔ Interchangeable with cells for 23 of 30 markers in a 30-color spectral panel ✔ #1 overall ranking across stain index, event rate consistency, throughput and cost ✔ Consistent event rates compared to leading competitor beads Download the application note to learn more.

Accurate selection of single-stain reference controls is critical for minimizing compensation and spectral unmixing errors, ensuring reliable and high-quality data in spectral flow cytometry. Download the application note to see why Slingshot SpectraComp® is a robust and practical alternative to cell-based controls.
