The MACS® Comp Bead Kits have been developed for optimal compensation of the fluorescence spillover from fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies.
Details
Most small molecule and protein-based fluorochromes have broad emission spectra which partially overlap with the spectra of other fluorochromes in flow cytometric analysis. This overlap should be detected and corrected for proper analysis. After staining with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies, the MACS Comp Bead Kits can be used for automated or manual compensation along with the MACS Comp Beads – blank for the control of the negative population.
