Description
The Dog Compensation Set is intended to be used with the Dog T lymphocyte Cocktail (Cat. No. 558699) or the Dog Activated T Lymphocyte Cocktail (Cat. No. 558704) for instrument compensation. Compensation is the process by which the effect of spectral overlap among flurochromes can be corrected, minimizing fluorescence signal spillover in neighboring channels. Traditionally, compensation values are entered into software programs allowing for the adjustment among the overlapping flurochrome emissions. These values can be achieved using single color controls, and verified using fluorescence-minus-one controls, or ad-mixtures of single color controls. Use this set to properly adjust your FITC/PE/APC compensation matrix for the Dog T Lymphocyte or Dog Activated T Lymphocyte Cocktails.
Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cell and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- 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.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- This APC-conjugated reagent can be used in any flow cytometer equipped with a dye, HeNe, or red diode laser.
