Invitrogen Brilliant Violet™ 480 (BV480) is a tandem dye excited by the 405 nm violet laser and emits at 480 nm. This dye has a medium relative brightness and can be used for cell surface, intracellular, and nuclear staining.
When using two or more Super Bright, Brilliant Violet™, Brilliant Ultra Violet™, or other polymer dye- conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, we recommend using Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer or Brilliant Stain Buffer to minimize any non-specific polymer interactions.
We offer BV480 dye conjugated to primary antibodies for use in flow cytometry.

Spectral signature of Brilliant Violet™ 480 dye. Data acquired on a 5-laser Cytek Aurora and normal human peripheral blood cells stained with CD8a Monoclonal Antibody (RPA-T8), Brilliant Violet™ 480 were used for analysis.
Intracellular staining of mouse splenocytes using Brilliant Ultra Violet™ 480. C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes were unstimulated (left) or stimulated for 48 hours with CD3e Monoclonal Antibody, Functional Grade (right). Cells were then surface-stained with CD45R (B220) Monoclonal Antibody, FITC and stained intracellularly, using the Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set and protocol, with 1.0 µg of Ki-67 Monoclonal Antibody (SolA15), Brilliant Violet™ 480. Viable cells in the lymphocyte gate were used for analysis, as determined by LIVE/DEAD™ Fixable Blue Dead Cell Stain Kit, for UV excitation.
Cell surface staining of mouse splenocytes using Brilliant Violet™ 480. C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes were stained with CD4 Monoclonal Antibody, FITC and 0.25 µg of Rat IgG2a kappa Isotype Control, Brilliant Violet™ 480 (left) or 0.25 µg of CD8a Monoclonal Antibody, Brilliant Violet™ 480 (right). Viable cells in the lymphocyte gate were used for analysis, as determined by 7-AAD Viability Staining Solution.
Brilliant Ultra Violet™ dye background
Brilliant Ultra Violet dyes are a polymer dye-based technology and compatible with both spectral flow cytometry as well as traditional flow cytometry. The UV laser has unique channels far from heavily occupied detectors, allowing for larger panels.
