Sphero™ Nile Red (High Intensity) Fluorescent Particles, 1.7 - 2.2 µm
(RUO)
Description
The vial contains a mixture of 1.7 - 2.2 µm Nile Red Fluorescent Particles that are dyed to have an excitation maximum of approximately 525 nm with a subsequent emission maximum of approximately 560 nm. This particle mixture is useful with flow cytometers equipped with a 488 nm-argon laser. This particle mixture has compatible excitation and emission spectra with R-Phycoerythein and Propidium iodide.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
This particle mixture (~1.0% w/v) is useful for routine calibration of flow cytometers. Before use, resuspend the particles by vortexing. Dilution of 3-5 drops of particles to 1 ml of sheath fluid will provide an adequate number of particles for flow cytometric analysis.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
