StarBright Dyes: Build bigger, better panels with superior dyes excitable by the ultraviolet, violet, blue, and yellow lasers

11 Aug 2022

StarBright Dyes from Bio-Rad have been specifically designed for multicolor flow cytometry with researchers’ needs in mind.

In this poster, Bio-Rad presents a preview of its latest additions to the StarBright range ̶ the StarBright Blue (SBB) and StarBright Yellow (SBY) Dyes.

StarBright Dyes for Flow Cytometry

Bio-Rad

StarBright Dyes are new, bright, fluorescent nanoparticles designed for flow cytometry. They have narrow excitation and emission properties to fit into any multicolor flow cytometry panel, and maximal brightness to detect rare populations and low-density antigens. Available conjugated to highly validated flow cytometry antibodies, they work in all buffers, provide consistent staining, can be premixed, and are suitable for conventional or spectral flow cytometry.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.FluorescenceThe emission of fluorescence occurs when a photon of energy is supplied to a fluorescent chemical compound by an external source, causing it to become excited. Fluorescence can be detected and measured for different purposes using microplate readers, fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence scanners, and flow cytometers.
