ColorWheel^® Antibody-Ready PerCP Dye

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.

PerCP (Peridinin-chlorophyll-protein complex) is a water-soluble dye that is isolated from a Dinophyceae sp., a photosynthetic dinoflagellate. It exhibits an excitation max at 477 nm and an emission max at 678 nm and has an extinction coefficient of 350,000 cm^-1 M^-1. PerCP is commonly used for fluorescent immunolabeling, particularly in applications involving fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) and can be used for multicolor analysis with FITC, phycoerythrin, and other fluorochromes. Due to its photobleaching characteristics, PerCP conjugates may not be used on flow cytometers with high-power lasers.
