Preparation and Storage

• Store the beads vial at 2°C to 8°C and protect from light. • Do not freeze Cytometer Setup and Tracking beads. • Vial contents are stable for the period shown on the vial label when stored as directed. Do not use after the expiration date. • Cytometer Setup and Tracking beads can be diluted in BD FACSFlow™ solution, BD FACSFlow solution with surfactant, or PBS. (See Procedure.) For consistent results, BD recommends always using the same diluent and sample delivery device to run Cytometer Setup and Tracking beads • After dilution, the beads suspension is stable for 8 hours at 2°C to 25°C when protected from light.
