Pharmingen Stain Buffer (BSA) - 554657 - 1 Each - MDL-B-D554657

Pharmingen Stain Buffer (BSA), 500 mLTRUE

• Pharmingen Stain Buffer (BSA) can be used for the immunofluorescent staining of single-cell suspensions prepared from either lymphoid tissues, bone marrow, peripheral blood, or cultured cells; buffer is useful for the dilution and application of fluorescent reagents as well as for the suspension, washing, and storage of cells destined for flow cytometric analysis (or fluorescence microscopy)
• Formulated as a neutral pH (pH 7.4)-buffered salt solution (i.e., DPBS) that is supplemented with 0.2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA) proteins; Pharmingen Stain Buffer (BSA) is designed to maintain cell viability and maximize fluorescence signal intensities generated by pH-sensitive fluorochromes, e.g., fluoresceine isothiocyanate (FITC)
• Staining medium contains no biotin, making it useful for staining cells with biotinylated antibodies and fluorochrome-conjugated avidins
• Contains the metabolic inhibitor, sodium azide (NaN3)
• Application: Flow cytometry (Routinely Tested), Fluorescence microscopy, Intracellular staining (flow cytometry)
