Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes, you may scale up or down as needed, but we recommend keeping the cell density the same. There are 41 µL per drop, so 2 drops is 82 µL (for the 1 mL of sample). You need to only scale down for this 100 µL volume, which would be 8.2 µL.
The amount of dye or reagent in the Ready Flow products is proprietary. If you need to consider the exact amount of dye or reagent for your experiment, each of the Ready Flow reagents is available as a standalone product.
This is not recommended. The ReadyProbes reagents were developed for imaging applications whereas the Ready Flow reagents were optimized for flow cytometry.
