Product Name:

ArC™ Amine Reactive Compensation Bead Kit

Catalog Number:

A10346

Peritoneal leukocytes were being assessed for various markers and dead cells were excluded using an amine reactive dye (Tonbo Ghost 510). Compensation for this dye was performed using ArC amine reactive compensation beads.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Flow Cytometry

Starting Material

Arc Amine Reactive Beads

Protocol Overview

Incubated with 1ul Ghost 510 fixable live/dead dye analyzed detection via LSRII Flow Cytometer.

Tips

None

Results Summary

ArC amine reactive beads gave a very bright signal for the live/dead dye, made compensation easy.

Summary

The Good

Brighter staining than dead cells

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Using ArC compensation beads with my amine reactive dye gave me a better compensation matrix and better data than using dye positive cells as a positive sample.
