BD Biosciences™ Quantibrite™ Phycoerythrin (PE) Beads

PE fluorescence quantitation kit for flow cytometric estimation of antibodies bound per cell.

Brand:  BD Biosciences™ 340495

Product Code. 10626384

Description

• Each BD Quantibrite™ PE tube contains a lyophilized pellet of beads conjugated with four levels of phycoerythrin (PE).
• The pellet is restrained in the bottom of the tube by a stainless steel retainer.
• The number of PE molecules per bead at each level varies among lots; lot-specific information is included with each kit.
• Each BD Quantibrite tube contains gelatin and sodium azide and is packaged in a foil pouch.
• There are 10 tubes per kit.
• BD Quantibrite PE tubes are designed for use with PE-labeled monoclonal antibodies for the purpose of estimating ABCs by flow cytometry.
• When you run a BD Quantibrite PE tube at the same instrument settings as the assay, the FL2 axis can be converted into the number of PE molecules bound per cell.
• By using known ratios of PE to antibodies, you can then convert PE molecules per cell to antibodies per cell.
• These factors, and others that affect quantitation, are discussed in detail in the BD Quantibrite white paper.
• Store foil pouches at 2°C–8°C and do not freeze.
• Protect from exposure to light.
• The reagent is stable until the expiration date shown on the pouch label when stored as directed.
• Reconstitute the pellet immediately after removing the tube from the pouch.
• The reconstituted pellet is stable for 24 hours when protected from light and stored at 2°C– 8°C.
