 Bright and good separation

Company:

eBioscience

Product Name:

Anti-mouse Sca-1 eF605NC

Catalog Number:

93-5981-42

Our lab measures Sca-1 levels in mice. I use this antibody in my multi-color flow-cytometry panel. Anti-mouse Sca-1 eF605NC works great at the recommended concentration for cells from the aorta. The IgG is low and therefore I get good separation (I generally see two separate populations). 605NC compensates well with the BV421, 650NC and BV711. I have tried 4 different batches of this antibody and it has been very reproducible. Works equally well after fixation too! One might observe a slight decrease in the fluorescence after 18 hours of fixation.

Results Summary

This is a great antibody and flurophore to be used in the multi-color flow cytometry panel. It compensates easily with eF650NC, BV421 and BV711. Antibody and all the batches have been very reproducible. Works well with the ecomp ultra beads too.
