StarBright Dye Resources
Resources
From webinars to webpages, posters to pocket guides, and of course our online Multicolor Panel Builder and Fluorescent Spectraviewer tools, we are sure that our resources will help you at every step of your flow cytometry experiment.
StarBright™ Dyes are novel dyes designed to have superior brightness, narrow excitation and emission characteristics, ease of use, and stability to give you the right result first time and every time. Improved resolution of specific cell populations and minimized spillover and spreading allow you to build bigger, better panels with ease.
To help you achieve the best results, and get the most out of your StarBright Dyes, we have pulled all the relevant resources together into one handy location. In addition, we also have this handy FAQ page to help answer some common questions you may have regarding StarBright Dyes.
StarBright Dyes Range
Conjugated to highly cited immunology antibodies, the StarBright Dyes range includes dyes excited by the ultraviolet, violet, blue, yellow, and red lasers suitable for use on all cell sorters, cell analyzers, and spectral instruments with the correct lasers and filters.
