Build the Best Panels with the Brightest and Biggest Range of Dyes
Bio-Rad has now launched 15 StarBright Dyes including nine violet, five ultraviolet, and one blue dyes, available on the most frequently used and highly cited antibodies:
More StarBright Dyes will be launching soon.
The next dyes to be launched include more StarBright UltraViolet Dyes (SBUV575, SBUV605, and SBUV740), one more StarBright Violet Dye (SBV760), and more StarBright Blue Dyes.
Why Are StarBright Dyes Unique?
Improved Brightness
Their brightness allows you to easily resolve rare and low antigen density populations.
Narrow Excitation/Emission
By narrowing the emission spectra and minimizing the excitation spectra, StarBright Dyes exhibit significantly reduced spillover and spreading error.
Broad Instrument Compatibility
Compatible with Bio‑Rad's ZE5 Cell Analyzer, S3e Cell Sorter, and other vendors' cytometers. Ideal for spectral flow cytometry.
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, all 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 have launched with the markers listed below. We will be offering more StarBright Dyes on these frequently used and highly cited targets, but will also expand the number of key antibodies available conjugated to all our StarBright Dyes.
