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 cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Researchers should determine the optimal concentration of this reagent for their individual applications.
- The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.

- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
Companion Products
The s19.8 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the b and c alloantigens of β2 microglobulin, originally designated Ly-m11. β2 microglobulin is a 12 kDa protein, homologous to a single immunoglobulin constant-region domain, which is noncovalently associated with the MHC class I heavy chain. It may also associate noncovalently with CD1d in some cells types. Positive strains include C57BL/6, C57BL/10, C57BR, and C57L; whereas, A, AKR, BALB/c, C58, C3H, CBA, DBA/1, DBA/2, SJL, SWR, and 129 strains are negative.
