Why Are StarBright Dyes Unique?
Improved Brightness
Their brightness allows you to more easily resolve rare and low antigen density populations.
Narrow Excitation/Emission
By narrowing the emission spectra and minimizing the excitation spectra, StarBright Dyes exhibit significant reduced spillover and spreading error.
Broad Instrument Compatibility
Compatible with Bio‑Rad's ZE5 Cell Analyzer, S3e Cell Sorter, and other vendors' cytometers. Suitable for spectral flow.
Buffer Compability
No special buffer is required and therefore no amendment to your current experimental procedure is needed. Tested in a range of common staining buffers with no drop in performance, unlike some dyes that give significantly lower percentage of cells and require a special buffer. StarBright Dyes can also be fixed with no reduction in brightness.
Consistent Staining
Tried and tested experiments; including multiple lots, each conjugated independently and tested along with accelerated shelf life study, showed StarBright Dyes to be reproducible and stable.
Multiplexing Capability
Shown to be compatible with other dyes including those from the StarBright family.
What Will Be Available?
Bio‑Rad’s new range of StarBright Dyes are launching soon. We will be offering StarBright Dyes on the most frequently used and highly cited targets.
