Figure 3: Quantile contour plots provide more accurate data representation than dot plots. Samples containing 1 × 10 4 , 5 × 10 4 and 1.5 × 10 5 events are plotted as quantile contour plots ...

In a gated flow cytometry experiment, data is collected about one or more channels from the dot-plot. Then, a gate box is drawn and a subpopulation of cells are selected for more analysis.
