Improving Access to the Reagents
You Need
Converting our most popular BD OptiBuild™ Reagents to
Off-the-Shelf
Based on customer feedback, we have begun converting some of our popular BD OptiBuild™ On-Demand Reagents to our standard, off-the-shelf reagents. While converted products will have new catalog numbers, they will be available at improved pricing and in familiar 50-μg unit sizes.
What you can expect:
- Off-the-shelf availability with improved pricing
- Access to single lot material
- Representative data provided on the Technical Data Sheet (TDS)
A transition period of at least 6 months for comparison testing and study completion prior to the obsolescence of BD OptiBuild™ Reagent catalog numbers
View product list highlighting the legacy BD OptiBuild™ Reagents along with the new off-the-shelf catalog numbers below.
Performance Data
Comparison of legacy BD OptiBuild™ On-Demand Reagents and converted equivalent
off-the-shelf BD Horizon™ Reagents demonstrating similar performance.

A. Flow cytometric comparison of NK-1.1 staining on mouse splenocytes using BD Horizon™ BV786 (blue histogram) or BD Optibuild™ BV786 Reagents (orange histogram) Mouse Anti-Mouse NK-1.1 antibody.
Splenic leucocytes from a C57BL/6 mouse were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™). The cells were then stained with BV786 Mouse Anti-Mouse NK-1.1 antibodies at 0.5 ug/T. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution was added to cells right before analysis. The fluorescence histograms showing NK-1.1 expression were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) splenic leucocytes.
B. Two-color flow cytometric comparison of NK-1.1 staining on mouse splenocytes using BD Horizon™ BV786 (left) or BD OptiBuild™ BV786 (right) Mouse Anti-Mouse NK-1.1 Reagents
Splenic leucocytes from a C57BL/6 mouse were preincubated with Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD16/CD32 antibody (Mouse BD Fc Block™). The cells were then stained with PE Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e antibody and BV786 Mouse Anti-Mouse NK-1.1 antibodies at 0.5 ug/T. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution was added to cells right before analysis. Two-color flow cytometric dot plots show the correlated expression patterns of NK1.1 versus CD3e for gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) splenic leucocytes.

A. Flow cytometric comparison of CD8 staining on human peripheral blood lymphocytes using BD Horizon™ BV421 (blue histogram) or BD OptiBuild™ BV421 (orange histogram) Mouse Anti-Human CD8 Reagents.
Whole blood was stained with BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD8 antibodies at 0.25 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution. The fluorescence histogram showing CD8 expression was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes.
B. Flow cytometric comparison of CD8 staining using BD Horizon™ BV421 (left) or BD OptiBuild™ BV421 (right) Mouse Anti-Human CD8 antibody (clone SK1).
Whole blood was stained with BV421 CD8 antibodies at 0.25 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution. The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of CD8 versus side light-scatter (SSC-A) signals were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact leucocyte populations.

A. Flow cytometric comparison of CD19 staining on human peripheral blood lymphocytes using BD Horizon™ BV480 (blue histogram) or BD OptiBuild™ BV480 (orange histogram) Mouse Anti-Human CD19 Reagents.
Whole blood was stained with BV480 Mouse Anti-Human CD19 antibodies at 0.25 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution. The fluorescence histograms showing CD19 expression were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes.
B. Flow cytometric comparison of CD19 staining using BD Horizon™ BV480 (left) or BD Optibuild™ BV480 (right) Mouse Anti-Human CD19 Reagents.
Whole blood was stained with BV480 Mouse Anti-Human CD19 antibodies at 0.25 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution. The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of CD19 versus side light-scatter (SSC-A) signals were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact leucocyte populations.

A. Flow cytometric comparison of ICOS (CD278) staining on stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes using BD Horizon™ BUV563 (blue histogram) or BD OptiBuild™ BUV563 (orange histogram) Mouse Anti-Human ICOS (CD278) Reagents.
Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated (3 days) peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with Mouse Anti-Human ICOS (CD278) antibodies at 0.25 ug/T. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution was added to cells right before analysis. The fluorescence histogram showing ICOS (CD278) expression was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) lymphocytes.
B. Flow cytometric comparison of ICOS (CD278) staining on stimulated human peripheral blood lymphocytes using BD Horizon™ BUV563 (left) or BD Optibuild™ BUV563 (right) Mouse Anti-Human ICOS (CD278) antibody.
Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated (3 days) peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained with Mouse Anti-Human ICOS (CD278) antibodies at 0.25 ug/T. BD Via-Probe™ Cell Viability 7-AAD Solution was added to cells right before analysis. The bivariate pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of ICOS (CD278) versus side light-scatter (SSC-A) signals were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable (7-AAD-negative) lymphocytes.

A. Flow cytometric comparison of CD314 (NKG2D) staining on human peripheral blood lymphocytes using BD Horizon™ BV421 (blue histogram) or BD OptiBuild™ BV421 (orange histogram) Mouse Anti-Human CD314 (NKG2D) Reagents.
Whole blood was stained with Mouse Anti-Human CD314 (NKG2D) at 0.5 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution. The fluorescence histogram showing CD314 (NKG2D) expression was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes.
B. Two-color flow cytometric comparison of CD314 (NKG2D) staining on human peripheral blood lymphocytes using BD Horizon™ BV421 (A) or BD OptiBuild™ BV421 (B) Mouse Anti-Human CD314 (NKG2D) Reagents.
Whole blood was stained with PE Anti-Human CD56 and BV421 Mouse Anti-Human CD314 (NKG2D) antibodies at 0.5 µg/test. Erythrocytes were lysed with BD FACS™ Lysing Solution. A bivariate pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of CD314 (NKG2D) versus CD56 was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact lymphocytes.
