Invitrogen™ AbC™ Anti-Rat/Hamster Bead Kit

Invitrogen™ AbC™ Anti-Rat/Hamster Bead Kit

The AbC™ Anti-Rat/Hamster Antibody Compensation Bead Kit provides a consistent, accurate, and simple-to-use technique for the setting of flow cytometry compensation when using fluorochrome-conjugated to rat or hamster antibodies with any laser in flow cytometry.

Features

• Species reactivity, The AbC™ Anti-Rat/Hamster Bead Kit is ideal for compensation with all isotypes of rat (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, IgM) and hamster (Armenian IgG and Syrian IgG) immunoglobulins.
• Maximum laser compatibility, All AbC™ Compensation Bead Kits are ideal for use with any excitation source, including the 405 nm laser which has historically provided higher background signals due to auto-fluorescence with other kits on the market.

How it works

Each kit provides polystyrene microspheres that have fluorescent antibody conjugate capture capacity (positive compensation beads) or are inert (negative compensation beads). After mixing with a fluorophore-conjugated rat or hamster antibody, the two components provide a distinct high-signal positive control with an appropriate negative population that can then be used to set compensation properly regardless of the intensity of the cells in the actual experiment.

Detection Method, Fluorescent.

Emission, any lasers (UV to 633/635).

Stain Configuration, Surface.
