General description
ColorWheel® technology is a novel and proprietary method of creating your own antibody and dye combinations for use in flow cytometry. By incubating any ColorWheel® antibody with any ColorWheel® dye, researchers can quickly and simply produce primary conjugated antibodies for use in single color or multicolor flow cytometry analysis. Each ColorWheel® antibody and dye is lyophilized for long long-term storage, allowing for simplicity and flexibility without compromise. ColorWheel® technology requires both ColorWheel® antibody and ColorWheel® dye for Flow Cytometry application.
We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This product is Preservative-free, lyophilized product for enhanced stability and allow for ambient shipping and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Target description
Isotype control antibodies are ideal negative controls for various immunological applications. They can help discriminate between specific antibody signal from non-specific background signal. In selecting an isotype control consideration of host, isotype, conjugation, light chain, and concentration are important. It should be of the same species and isotype as the antibody of interest and must be used at the same concentration and conjugated to the same fluorophore. Armenian Hamster IgG Isotype Control, clone PIP is suitable for use an isotype-matched control for Armenian Hamster IgG. It has unknown binding specificity and can be used for evaluation of background staining caused by non-specific interactions between a Armenian Hamster IgG antibody and the sample under defined experimental conditions.
Physical form
Lyophilized from PBS containing D-Mannitol and Sucrose, normal appearance is a dried pellet. Reconstituted antibody solution is stable and functional as assessed by functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide.
Reconstitution
1.0 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL in PBS. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
Storage and Stability
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C. Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial. Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of PBS. Protect from light.
