A flow cytometer apparatus and methods for detecting and clearing a clog therein are disclosed. An example method for detecting a clog may include (i) detecting, via a fault detection system of a flow cytometer, a first plurality of events associated with a first aliquot from a first sample well, (ii) determining a count of the first plurality of events associated with the first aliquot, (iii) determining whether the count of the first plurality of events is below a minimum count tolerance and (iv) (a) if the count of the first plurality of events is below the minimum count tolerance, then determining that the flow cytometer has a clog, (b) if the count of the first plurality of events is equal to or above the minimum count tolerance, then detecting a second plurality of events associated with a second aliquot from a second sample well. |

1. A method, comprising:
detecting, via a fault detection system of a flow cytometer, a first plurality of events associated with a first aliquot from a first sample well; determining, via the fault detection system, a count of the first plurality of events associated with the first aliquot; determining, via the fault detection system, whether the count of the first plurality of events is below a minimum count tolerance; and if the count of the first plurality of events is below the minimum count tolerance, then determining, via the fault detection system, that the flow cytometer has a clog; if the count of the first plurality of events is equal to or above the minimum count tolerance, then detecting, via the fault detection system, a second plurality of events associated with a second aliquot from a second sample well. |
