Panel Design is a Puzzle. You Can't Solve a Puzzle Without the Right Pieces.

Whether you want to add a new marker to a complex experiment, or just reduce overall compensation, BD OptiBuild™ reagents offer over 10,000 choices. Those are characterized by the overall increase in complexity and experimental parameters in flow cytometry (2).

 

They are made to order just for you. Due to this, we have a 10 unit maximum on all products. If you require a larger amount, please contact your local sales representative.

BD OptiBuild™ Reagents in Numbers

Unlike traditional large scale, expensive custom conjugates, these reagents come in convenient 50-µg vials and can be ordered the same way as any catalog reagent.

 

Your reagents are made on demand, and usually ship in less than 72 hours**.

* This table provides general guidance with respect to the relative capability of different fluorochromes to resolve dimly stained populations; it is not a representation of absolute fluorescence. Rankings were determined by comparing the stain index (resolution) of cells stained with multiple formats on several clones run on a variety of flow cytometers. Many factors can influence the relative fluorochrome/reagent performance on a given instrument, including laser power, PMT voltage, optical filters, antibody clone and biological sample.
