Product Name:

Anti-Rat and Anti-Hamster Ig κ /Negative Control Compensation Particles Set

Catalog Number:

552845

Flow cytometry with multiple antibodies require compensation to determine positive and negative population. This compensation kit will help to separate the positive and negative population during flow cytometric analysis involving multiple antibodies.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Flow cytometry

Starting Material

BD™ CompBeads Anti-Rat and Anti- Hamster Ig, κ

Protocol Overview

1. Label the number of tubes required for the assay, one for each antibody to be used in the assay and one tube for unstained control. 2. Add 2 drops of the positive beads and 2 drops of the negative beads. 3. Spin down the tubes and resuspend in 50ul of FACS buffer. 4. To this 50ul, add only 0.5ul of the specific antibody you wish to compensate in the assay. 5. Leave one tube as unstained control. 6. Leave for at least 15 mins at dark. 7. Wash the tube and calculate compensation using these beads.

Tips

Knowledege of flow cytometry required

Results Summary

Very accurate compensation using these compensation beads, which eliminated the fluorescence spillover of fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies.
