I used these beads when I have multi-color antibodies for flow cytometry experiments. I have been using these beads for more than 6 years. It can absorb antibodies very well and works really good for single color compensation controls.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Compensation beads for flow cytometry analysis

Starting Material

Beads and samples

Tips

Need to vortex very well before use. You don't need to use one drop per sample. I usually use 5-10 uL for each antibody.

Results Summary

The beads can be stained with antibodies of different origins. I have tested in mice and human antibodies. Positive and negative populations can be identified very well which can be used for compensation for multi-colors.
