I am planning to use a fluorescent streptavidin labeled conjugate. What are the storage conditions and shelf life for the lyophilized powder and reconstituted solution?
In the lyophilized powder form, the fluorescent streptavidin labeled conjugate is stable for six months when stored at -20 degrees C, desiccated, and protected from light. The reconstituted solution is stable for approximately six months when stored at 4 degrees C, protected from light, with the addition of sodium azide to a final concentration of 5 mM or thimerosal to 0.2 mM. For longer storage, we recommend dividing the solution into aliquots and freezing at -20 degrees C, protected from light. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the solution.
I am planning to use a fluorescent streptavidin labeled conjugate. How should I prepare the working solution of the conjugate?
The fluorescent streptavidin labeled conjugate solution can be made by dissolving the powder in 0.5-1.0 mL of PBS or other suitable buffer. For details, please refer to page 4 of the "Streptavidin and Fluorescent Conjugates of Streptavidin" manual (https://assets.fishersci.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/manuals/mp00888.pdf).

Human peripheral blood dendritic cells (PBDC) are a rare population comprised of several distinctive subsets. Analysis of these cells has been hindered by their low frequency. In this study, we report a novel direct ex vivo 11-color flow cytometric assay that combines subset identification with analysis of activation status and ... More
INTRODUCTION: In previous studies we and others have demonstrated the usefulness of violet laser diodes (VLDs) as replacement laser sources for krypton-ion lasers on stream-in-air cytometers. Previously available VLDs had a maximum available power of less than 25 mW; this was sufficient for excitation of densely labeled cell surface antigens ... More
