NovaFluor Blue 510 dye can be used as an alternative to BD Horizon Brilliant Blue (BB515) with a similar excitation spectrum and a cleaner emission spectrum. For example, in flow cytometry panels that include both FITC and BB515, replacing BB515 with NovaFluor Blue 510 dye reduces the complexity score, thus simplifying spectral unmixing of the panel. NovaFluor Blue 510 dye should generally be paired with highly expressed antigens to minimize spectral spillover in complex multicolor panels. With distinct spectral signatures, NovaFluor Blue 510, NovaFluor Blue 530, and NovaFluor Blue 555 dyes can be used together in a flow cytometry panel. The macromolecule-based NovaFluor Blue 510 dye produces highly stable fluorescence, and stained samples retain their fluorescence intensity and spectral signature when stored at 4°C. Use NovaFluor dyes with CellBlox Plus Blocking Buffer to block non-specific binding of NovaFluor labels, PE, and APC tandems observed with macrophages and monocytes.
