NM LYSE: Flow Cytometry Lysing Solution

Produktnummer ABIN1741580

Produktdetails

Applikation: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Marke: FIX&PERM®

Spezifität: NM-LYSE Reagent is designed for use with all commercially available flow cytometers. Alignment and compensation should be performed according to manufacturer´s instructions The quality of each NM-LYSE Lot is determined by lysing red blood cells of well defined blood samples from representative donors and subsequent comparison of forward and side scatter characteristics of obtained leukocytes.

Produktmerkmale: Mildly fixes cells, preserving their flow cytometric scatter characteristics
Allows simultaneous characterisation of both intracellular and cell surface markers
Rapid technique - whole procedure can be carried out in less than one hour, ready
for immediate analysis or storage for 24 hours
Stringent QC procedures - the quality of each lot is determined using well-defined
blood samples and subsequent comparison of scatter characteristics of obtained
leukocyte populations, ensuring consistent and reliable results lot after lot
A range of intracellular antibodies with optimised protocols for use with FIX&PERM®
FIX&PERM® is a simple procedure making use of two reagents. Reagent A gently fixes cells, while Reagent B permeabilizes them. The specific formulations reduce background and allow simultaneous addition of permeabilization medium and fluorochrome labelled antibodies, allowing staining of intracellular structures such as cytoplasmic or nuclear enzymes, oncoproteins, cytokines, immunoglobulins, etc.

For Wash- or No-Wash Lysing Procedures with Whole Blood or Marrow Samples NM-LYSE is a premixed, ready to use lysing solution fomulated for lysing erythrocytes following monoclonal antibody staining of whole blood. Treatment with this reagent simultaneously leads to lysis of red blood cells and fixation of white cells. Morphological scatter characteristics of leukocytes remain intact. NM-LYSE can be used with or without sample washing. NM-LYSE is suitable for the analysis of normal and malignant leukocyte populations derived from various human biological samples (blood, bone marrow and others) using flow cytometry. Results must be put within the context of other diagnostic tests as well as the clinical history of the patient by a certified professional before final interpretation. Flow cytometric analyses with monoclonal antibodies were so far restricted to leukocyte populations, which had been separated from erythrocytes before staining and/or analysis. Instead, whole blood staining methods allow for a rapid and accurate determination of cellular subpopulations in non-separated biological samples. This is not only time saving but reduces also the probability of an unintended loss of distinct cellular populations due to e.g. commonly used differential centrifugation procedures. With the NM-LYSE reagent flow cytometric analysis of whole blood has become as easy and accurate as the analysis of separated cell populations.

Add 5 mL phosphate buffered saline and centrifuge cells for 5 minutes at 300 g
Remove supernatant and add to cell pellet 100 µL Reagent B (Permeabilization
Medium) and 20 µL of the appropriate monoclonal antibody conjugate
Vortex at low speed for 1-2 seconds
Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature
Wash cells with phosphate buffered saline as described above
Remove supernatant and re-suspend cells in sheath fluid for immediate analysis or re-suspend cells in 0.5 mL 1.0 % formaldehyde and store at 2-8°C in the dark
