Description

The vial contains a mixture of 3.0 - 3.4 µm Rainbow Particles that are dyed to eight different fluorescent intensities. Every Rainbow Particle contains a mixture of fluorophores that are excited at any wavelength from 365 - 650 nm. The Rainbow Particles have emission spectra compatible with many common fluorophores used for immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis.



Preparation And Storage

Preparation and StorageStore undiluted at 2-8 °C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

This particle mixture (~10x10^6 particles/ml) 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.
