Flashy? It's the Flash Red Intensity Standard!

January 2009 - Bangs is celebrating the new year in grand fashion!  We are delighted to introduce a new Intensity Standard incorporating our Flash Red fluorophore. Akin to our ever-popular Dragon Green Intensity Standard, this kit consists of ~8µm polystyrene microspheres dyed with increasing amounts of Flash Red.

The different intensity populations may serve as relative intensity standards for fluorescence-based applications in microscopy or flow cytometry, and as internally-dyed beads, they will stand up to the rigors of imaging. As Flash Red is spectrally similar to Cy™5, traditional red fluorophore filter sets (e.g. Cy™5/microscope; PE-Cy™5 or APC/cytometer) may be used with the standard.
