The Flash Red Intensity Standard is a kit consisting of five individual populations of ~8μm polystyrene-based microspheres dyed with increasing amounts of the Flash Red fluorophore. Each population is supplied at ~1.5 x 107 beads /mL in a 1mL bottle. As Flash Red is spectrally similar to Cy™5, traditional red fluorophore filter sets (e.g. Cy™5/microscope, PE-Cy™5 or APC/cytometer) may be used with this standard.
