Flash Red Intensity Standard

The Flash Red Intensity Standard kit consists of five populations of ~8µm microspheres dyed with increasing amounts of our Flash Red fluorophore. The different intensity populations may serve as relative intensity standards for fluorescence-based applications in microscopy or flow cytometry, and as internally-dyed beads, they will stand up to the rigors of imaging.

As Flash Red is spectrally similar to Cy™5, traditional red fluorophore filter sets (e.g. Cy5/microscope; PE-Cy5 or APC/cytometer) may be used with the standard. The beads may also serve as very bright relative intensity or linearity standards for flow cytometry; ask about the Bangs Laboratories, Inc. QuickCal® Linearity Template if this is your interest.
