Takara mCherry Flow Cytometer Calibration Beads \20 Assays

Takara The mCherry Flow Cytometer Calibration Beads allow for easy calibration of any flow cytometer with a 561 nm laser line that excites the red fluorescent protein, mCherry. The beads consist of a mixture of six distinct populations that vary in the number of attached mCherry molecules, giving each population a distinct fluorescent signature. The value for the corresponding Molecular Equivalent of Soluble Fluorophore (MESF) per peak was determined by correlating the fluorescence intensity of each respective bead population with the amount of soluble mCherry yielding the same fluorescence intensity. The lowest intensity represents the autofluorescence signal of cells not expressing red fluorescent protein, while the five remaining peaks are evenly distributed over the remaining scale of the red fluorescence detection channel. - TAKBGN (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
