Abstract
Flow cytometry use has significantly increased in clinical laboratories and has significantly helped improve the diagnosis of leukemias, lymphomas, and follow-up of minimal residual disease. Mastering this technique enables the performance of multiparametric single-cell analysis and increases the odds of identifying abnormal populations. As in many fields, there is a need to improve the quality of the data generated for accuracy, reproducibility, and trueness. The implementation of solutions reducing variability is achievable and needed, as the flow cytometry workflow involves many manual steps and items susceptible to operator bias and human error. Standardization of flow cytometry assays is sought and already implemented in many clinical hematology laboratories. However, the clinical community would highly benefit from further efforts in that direction to increase the comparability of findings across laboratories. This review covers the strengths and weaknesses of flow cytometry and focuses on the standardization approaches developed, including recent advances in the field.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
