Flow Cytometry Particles

Optimize flow cytometer performance

Ensure optimal flow cytometer instrument performance by using Thermo Scientific™ Flow Cytometry beads for calibration, alignment, counting and instrument set-up to ensure flow and optical stability and for developing assays used for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of up to 24 different analytes within a sample. These open-platform beads not only work on any brand of flow cytometer, they provide confidence that the instrument is consistently delivering accurate data between instruments, labs and experiments when sizing, sorting, isolating and analyzing cells.

Key Applications

  • Calibration to ensure the laser and optics are performing to specification
  • Alignment to ensure the laser and flow cell are properly aligned
  • Absolute counting for proper capture of cells
  • Measuring multiple analytes per test

Achieve exceptional accuracy and feedback on laser power, alignment and noise in excitation and emission optics with Thermo Scientific™ Cyto-Cal™ Alignment Particles.

Ensure an accurate count verified by analytical procedures with Thermo Scientific™ Cyto-Cal Count Control, which consists of fluorescent beads for absolute counting on flow cytometers.

Simultaneously monitor stability and check sensitivity and performance of flow cytometer.

Save time when measuring analytes with Thermo Scientific™ Cyto-Plex™ Carboxylated Particles, open platform particles for suspension array analysis.
