BioSure Controls Mean Confidence in Your Flow Cytometry Results
Efficient instrument QC and a known baseline for DNA studies, whether
human, animal or plant: you can get these and more when you standardize
with BioSure® controls. Maximize your cytometer's
reliability and boost throughput while you save time, labor, and money.
These dependable biological particles offer guaranteed quality and ease
of use. Once you try them, you'll never prepare your own controls again.

Innovative Uses for BioSure Controls
CRBC's - Chicken Red Blood Cells
- Ideal for initial standardization and monitoring of the cytometer's
optical and fluorescence parameters and PMT stability. Makes peak assessment
a snap.
-
- For more information, see our data
sheet. And, review our procedures for initial standardization and daily monitoring.

Negative Control
- Monitor the lower limit fluorescence sensitivity to be sure your instrument
is ready for immunophenotyping assays.
-
- For more information, see our data sheet, or see our complete procedure for checking sensitivity.

CEN's - Chicken Erythrocyte Nuclei
- These nuclei, which have multiple peaks, are excellent for checking
instrument linearity.
-
- For more information, see our data sheet or take a look at our procedure for alignment and linearity.

CEN Singlets - Chicken Erythrocyte Nuclei Singlets
- Use as an internal control for DNA studies using plant or animal cells.
-
- For more information, see our data sheet. Ask about using CEN singlets to spike
patient or other study samples.

TEN's - Trout Erythrocyte Nuclei
- TEN's easily mark a reference point to human ploidy to establish a constant
DNA index range. Try TEN's for marking reference points for plant cell DNA
studies. This strain of trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Salmo gairdneri:
older literature), contains 5.149 - 5.240 pg of DNA. See data sheet for literature
cited
-
- For more information, see our data sheet.

Triploid Trout Nuclei
- Great to run with patient samples, with almost no large aggregates (less
than or equal to 3%), these cells have 3N nuclei that make them exceptionally
useful for evaluating human diploid DNA values. Triploid trout nuclei are
excellent for plant DNA work, too.
-
- For more information, see our data sheet.

ZebraFish
-
ZebraFish nuclei, the newest addition to
the BioSure DNA controls and standards, are produced from ZebraFish
(Danio rerio), with a genome size of 3.4 - 3.5 pg. Use this product
with TENs (rainbow trout) and TTNs (triploid rainbow trout) to provide
you with a triple set of flow cytometry reference points.
For more information, see our data sheet. |

CTN's - Calf Thymocyte Nuclei
- These natural cycling cells provide daily cell-cycle statistics, and
also evaluate the doublet discrimination module or electronic pulse-processing
system.
-
- For more information, see our data sheet.
