Simultaneously monitor stability and check sensitivity and performance of flow cytometer with the Thermo Scientific™ Cyto-Cal™ Multifluor + Violet Intensity Calibrator.
Features:
  • Stable calibration material for assessing instrument stability and precision in multiple channels
  • Uniform mixture of 3μm particles with four dyes in five different fluorescent intensities
  • Singlet gating not required due to high uniformity of the particles
  • Consists of a single vial of fluorescent particles precisely stained with fluorescent dyes that have optimized intensity and broad emission in up to 13 color channels
  • MESF (Mean Equivalent Soluble Fluorochrome) value provided for each intensity level for estimation of relative fluorescence intensities of labeled cells
  • Can provide relative fluorescence estimations of labeled cells (MEFL), but is not designed for quantitation of fluorochromes on cells.

Includes:

Insert sheet and MSDS

Recommended for:

Flow Cytometry set-up and calibration.

Note:

MEFL is also referred to as Molecules of Equivalent Soluble Fluorochrome (MESF). The MEFL values provided are not traceable to a standard reference material.
