Still Using PE Tandem Dyes? You Can Do Better!
BD Horizon RealYellow™ and BD Horizon RealBlue™ Reagents
Introducing BD Horizon RealYellow™ and BD Horizon RealBlue™ Reagents: The superior alternative to PE and PerCP tandem dyes
Our next-generation fluorochromes offer:
- Reduced background: significant reduction in monocyte background compared to PE-Cy tandems
- Range of brightness: a range of fluorochromes to support the detection of surface and intracellular markers from a variety of expression levels
- Versatility: compatible with a variety of common fixation and permeabilization systems, viability dyes and anti-coagulants
- Reliable performance: stable reagents that are photostable and offer lot-to-lot consistency
- Panel design flexibility: use RealYellow and RealBlue Reagent Pairs together on appropriately equipped instruments to build larger panels and for added flexibility when designing panels on both conventional and spectral flow cytometers.

Compared to PE-Cy tandems, BD Horizon RealYellow™ and BD Horizon RealBlue™ Reagents offer reduced background.

BD Horizon™ RB780 Reagents offer reduced background compared to PE-Cy7

RY775 provides improved nonspecific binding.

Compared to PE and PerCP tandems, BD Horizon RealYellow™ and BD Horizon RealBlue™ Reagents offer significantly reduced spillover spread.

RY610 shows reduced spillover spread into the corresponding blue detectors.

RB613 shows reduced spillover spread into the corresponding yellow-green detectors.

BD Horizon RealYellow™ 586 Reagents offer high resolution with minimal cross-laser excitation. Data was acquired on a BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE Cell Analyzer.

Unlike select PE tandems such as PE-Cy7, PE-Cy5.5, BD Horizon RealYellow™ and BD Horizon RealBlue™ Reagents offer the detection of low-expression surface and intracellular markers.
