AbC™ Total Antibody Compensation Bead Kit for use in flow cytometric analysis using fluorescent dye-conjugated mice, rats , hamster or rabbit antibodies and any laser when setting up flow cytometry analysis compensation to provide a consistent, accurate and easy-to-use technique.

•Extremely broad multi-species reactivity—works with all isotypes of mouse, rat, hamster, and rabbit antibody conjugates
•Extremely bright signal—with extremely sensitive antibody capture microscopy Beads
•Extremely high laser compatibility—works with all lasers

Precise compensation is critical for efficient multicolor analysis in flow cytometry. However, cell-based compensation controls are often not fully effective because many antigens are not highly expressed, and poorly stained cells may result in inaccurate compensation settings. The AbC™ Total Antibody Compensation Bead Kit was developed to solve this problem.

How it works
The polystyrene microspheres provided with each kit have fluorescent antibody conjugate capture capabilities (positive compensation beads) or are inert (negative compensation beads). When mixed with fluorophore-conjugated mouse, rat, hamster, or rabbit antibodies, these two components provide a clear high-signal positive control with appropriate negative populations that can then be used to correctly set compensation without regard to Strength of cells in actual experiments.

Extremely broad multi-species reactivity
AbC™ Total Antibody Compensation Bead Kit is suitable for compensating mice of all isotypes (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, IgM), rat (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG2c, IgM), hamster (Armenian IgG and Syrian IgG) and rabbit (monoclonal and polyclonal) immunoglobulins.

Extremely Bright SignalThe AbC™ Total Compensation Bead Kit has proven in the industry to have extremely high and consistent reactivity to different immunoglobulin subclasses.

Extreme laser compatibility
All AbC™ compensation bead kits are suitable for any excitation source, including autofluorescence that produces higher background than other kits on the market Signal of 405 nm laser.
