Product Number Description:
COMP-1 Flow Cytometry Compensation Kit
Microbeads prepared from hydrophobic, polymeric material and suspended in buffered saline with surfactants and 0.1% sodium azide added as preservative. Kit contains 25 ml each of an Autofluorescence Standard, FITC Standard, PE Standard and a dual labeled FITC/PE Standard. For use in the adjustment of flow cytometer settings to eliminate overlapping fluorophore signals [color compensation].

U.S. Patent No. 4,859,582

Store at 2-8°C. Shipping Conditions: Ambient.

Product Number Description: Tests
M 0162 Microbead Standards 10 and 20
Microbeads prepared from hydrophobic, polymeric material, dual conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and R-Phycoerythrin (PE) and suspended in a sterile buffered solution with surfactants and sodium azide added as preservative. Designed to simulate the forward scatter and fluorescent intensity generated by fluorochrome conjugate labeled human leukocytes.

Store at 2-8°C. Shipping Conditions: Ambient.

Product Number Description:
P 7458 PKH26 Reference Microbeads
PKH26 Reference Microbeads have a fluorescence intensity and light scatter characteristics similar to PKH26-labeled leukocytes. The reference microbeads are impregnated with PKH26 dye, then carefully formulated as a suspension to serve as a fluorescence intensity and count standard. PKH26 Reference Microbeads are a component of the Cell Census PlusTM System.

Store at 2-8°C. Shipping Conditions: On wet ice. Please refer to ordering Information for details.
