Flow Cytometry Beads

Flow cytometry beads are a variety of reagents that can be used to enhance and optimize the flow cytometry process through quality control, standardization, and compensation. Some beads reduce variation in instrument alignment and help make the gathered data more accurate, reliable, and reproducible. Quality control flow cytometry beads can be used for calibration, compensation, and counting. Compensation beads are used mainly for fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies and are especially helpful to minimize fluorescence spillover in a large multicolor panel. Counting beads are used to calculate particle concentrations of a sample, allowing for accuracy and precision in determining cell numbers during flow cytometry. Flow cytometry beads help to minimize multiple user errors and, in the case of large/multiple experiments, help make them more standardized.
