Qdot® Nanocrystals in Flow Cytometry

NEW! Primary Antibody Conjugates Now Available

  • Flexibility - excited by 405 nm or 488 nm, allowing researchers to maximize the use of violet lasers
  • Compatibility - use in combination with existing organic dyes to increase the number of detectable parameters
  • Stability - does not degrade over time like tandem conjugates, for greater reproducibility
  • Minimal single laser compensation - narrow emission spectra allow for minimal compensation when using a single excitation source
With new flow cytometry instrumentation allowing ever-expanding detection capabilities, Qdot® Nanocrystals add an exciting new array of fluorescent labels for use in flow cytometry. Qdot® Nanocrystals provide fluorescent labels that can be excited with UV or violet light as well as longer-wavelength light sources, and exhibit long effective Stokes shifts and relatively narrow emission peaks. The result: greater flexibility and precision in designing multicolor flow cytometry panels.

As the exclusive provider of Qdot® Nanocrystal technology for life science research, Invitrogen offers the full range of tools, from our new primary antibody conjugates to secondary detection reagents, required to maximize the use of your flow cytometer by combining Qdot® Nanocrystal technology with existing organic fluorophores.
