Description
This product contains a single population of Rainbow Particles that are dyed to a single fluorescent intensity. Every Rainbow Particle contains a mixture of fluorophores that are stably embedded within the particle and can be excited at any wavelength from 365-650 nm, allowing most channels in a flow cytometer to be calibrated using the same set of particles. The Rainbow Particles have emission spectra compatible with many common fluorophores used for immunofluorescent staining by flow cytometric analysis.Rainbow Fluorescent Particles are provided in a dropper bottle for convenient dispensing and storage.

This particle mixture (~10x10^6 particles/mL) is useful for routine calibration of flow cytometers. Before use, resuspend the particles by vortexing. Dilution of 3-5 drops of particles to 1 ml of sheath fluid will provide an adequate number of particles for flow cytometric analysis.
