SpectraComp®
Flow cytometry compensation and unmixing controls.
Place your order directly with the manufacturer.
SpectraComp® controls are precision engineered single stain cell mimics designed to optimize spectral unmixing and compensation in multiparameter flow cytometry workflows. These controls mimic the staining performance of real cells and provide positive and negative populations after staining with fluorescently conjugated antibodies. Each control captures antibodies from mouse, rat and hamster sources, supporting broad panel compatibility and diverse fluorophore selections.
Compensation and spectral unmixing using Slingshot SpectraComp as reference controls
This application note evaluates Slingshot SpectraComp® synthetic cell-like controls for compensation and spectral unmixing in flow cytometry. Discover how across two studies, SpectraComp controls demonstrated spectral profiles closely matching cells, and were interchangeable with cell-based controls for most markers, improving background reduction and unmixing accuracy. The results highlight a practical alternative to traditional compensation beads, particularly for complex multicolor panels and limited sample types.
