Fluorochrome performance guide
6 Oct 2026Flow cytometry users choose from hundreds of fluorochromes for their conventional and spectral flow cytometry assays. The physical properties of all fluorochromes are not the same, and differences in resolution and spillover can significantly impact panel resolution and data interpretation. This guide from BD Biosciences, that includes a Fluorochrome Performance Chart and a Fluorochrome and Antigen Pairing Guide, is intended to help users simplify panel design and minimize loss of data quality and resolution.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.
