Brilliant Ultra Violet™ and Brilliant Violet™ Polymer Dyes
We offer a full range of Brilliant Ultra Violet (BUV) and Brilliant Violet (BV) dyes for the ultraviolet (UV) and violet lasers and detector channels of your flow cytometer
Brilliant Ultra Violet dyes, Brilliant Violet dyes, and Super Bright dyes use polymer technology to absorb energy and emit light signal. These molecules are conjugated to antibodies used in flow cytometry experiments. By incorporating Brilliant Ultra Violet, Brilliant Violet, and Super Bright dyes in their experiments, scientists can take advantage of a broader range of instrument lasers and channels—including UV and Violet—to help reduce compensation necessary in panels with multiple conjugated antibodies. Super Bright dyes, Brilliant Ultra Violet, and Brilliant Violet dyes use similar polymer technologies.
