      Description

      BD TruCOUNT™ Control beads are designed for use with in vitro diagnostic products such as BD TriTEST™ reagents and a suitably equipped flow cytometer for use as a control for certain elements of the absolute counting process. Specifically, a control bead value that is outside the expected range could indicate an error in pipetting or a problem with the value from the Absolute Count Beads. TruCOUNT Control beads are not intended as a substitute for a cellular control. TruCOUNT Controls can be used with the FACS Loader.



      Preparation And Storage

      TruCOUNT Control beads are sensitive to compensation, specifically in FL2–%FL1. If lyse/no-wash procedures are not employed, care must be taken to ensure FL2 brightness is adequate. Store at 2° to 8°C. Do not use after expiration date on vial.
