Description
The BD™ Multi-Check control is intended as a complete process control for immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. It is a control for antibody staining, red blood cell (RBC) lysis, instrument setup and performance, and data analysis.
Preparation And Storage
• Store vials upright, tightly capped, at 2° to 8°C when not in use.
• Unopened vials are stable until the expiration date indicated on each vial and Assay Values sheet.
• Opened vials are stable for 9 thermal cycles (uses) when handled properly. A thermal cycle constitutes performing all steps under Instructions for Use once.
• Avoid unnecessary cycles of warming and cooling.
• Protect from freezing, from temperatures above 30°C, and from prolonged time (>30 minutes) at room temperature (18° to 26°C).
• Follow exactly the steps under Instructions for Use.
