Description
BD CaliBRITE™ beads are designed for use with FACSComp™ or AutoCOMP™ software and the FACS™ family of flow cytometers (FACSCalibur™, FACSort™, FACScan™, and FACStrak™). The beads are used to adjust instrument settings, set fluorescence compensation, and check instrument sensitivity. Daily use is recommended for monitoring instrument performance over time. CaliBRITE beads are for in vitro diagnostic use.
Preparation And Storage
