Custom Design Services

Do you want stable, dry reagentsthat can be stored at roomtemperature with little tube totube variation?

Are you multiplexing using multiple dyes orusing flow cytometry to analyze a single cell?

Do you need a custom antibody conjugation or are you looking for a different fluorochrome conjugate?

CDS: Custom Design ServicesConsider the convenience of combining the antibodies you know and trust withleading conjugates from BCI

For more than 75 years, Beckman Coulter has been providing researchers with high-quality

products and services. Our Custom Design Services (CDS) offer personalized options designed to

provide custom solutions for your multicolor flow cytometry and imaging needs.

As a recognized leader in multicolor flow cytometry, our CDS product options include purified

antibodies and single and multicolor antibody conjugates, complete with optimization services.

A wide selection of fluorochromes provides options to meet specific multicolor experimental design

requirements. We have an expanded CDS portfolio, offering multicolor cocktails in a dry,

temperature-stable format.

Our Custom Design Solution Service

Whether you are looking for a different conjugate of our antibody

or need a custom conjugation of your own antibody, CDS provides

affordable, high-quality custom antibody conjugation services.

Our CDS offerings range from custom conjugations to optimized

multi-color combinations.

In addition, our dry reagents, the DuraClone line, provide a means

to simplify and expedite sample preparation and handling. These

temperature-stable reagents allow for the production of a single

batch that can be stored at room temperature for the duration of a

study eliminating the need for refrigeration space and revalidation

of new lots. DuraClone custom panels are supplied in a single use

cocktail per tube ready for addition of sample.

A wide selection of fluorochromes across BCI’s popular

antibody clones provides options to meet specific multicolor

experimental design requirements. With flexible order

quantities, we make custom antibody conjugates more

affordable allowing tight budgets to go further and

removing bottlenecks to your downstream work.

Antibodies may be lyophilized or supplied in a specified

buffer solution. Conjugates are suitable for flow cytometry,

UV-microscopy or chemiluminescent applications (ELISA,

Western blots).

Experts in Conjugation

BCI scientists have extensive experience in developing fluorescent,

antibody-based detection agents. The same scientists that have

developed our products t manufacture all custom reagents. Our scientists

have obtained patents on several processes, developed proprietary

processes for increased quality and collaborated with external research

groups in the design of complex studies that have been published in

peer-reviewed journals. We have expertise in Dye Technology, Conjugation,

Multicolor Design and Dry Reagent Processing.

Incorporate our portfolio of high-quality antibodies with custom

fluorochrome conjugates in a dry reagent format and you have

temperature-stable cocktails that can be quickly and reliably

incorporated into your laboratory protocols. We provide state-of-the-art

tools to advance discovery and development programs.

Fluorochrome & Conjugation TechnologiesBCI Tandems require less compensation

Beckman Coulter has set the standard for tandem dyes and we continue

to be unmatched in quality. We have developed proprietary technology to

assure maximal product performance. Our extensive expertise along with

our patented tandem dye manufacturing process, delivers the complete

solution to help expand your research needs.

Bring Beckman’s Design Expertise to YourResearch Needs

BCI has maintained a leadership position in the design and optimization

of multicolor reagent combinations and systems for research. Our extensive

expertise, along with our patented tandem dye manufacturing process

and dry reagents technology, delivers the complete solution to help

expand your research needs.

• Experts in routine designs of four-six color cocktails

• Experts in dry reagents technology

• Extensive experience of eight-10 color custom cocktail formulations

• “Backbone” strategies designed to simplify reagent drop-ins

• Wide variety of single color conjugates, including our exclusive Krome Orange dye

• Expertise with a range of washed and no-wash applications

Formulation & Packaging Technology

Our proprietary formulation provides superior binding specificity

and performance. Eliminating non-specific binding of fluorochromes to

monocytes improves the ability to resolve low density positive

staining, thus avoiding erroneous results and misinterpretation of the

data in studies involving non-lymphoid populations.

• Provides enhanced signal-to-noise

• Reduced non-specific binding of cyanine dyes to non-lymphoid populations

• Low background fluorescence on negative populations

Our proprietary packaging extends reagent shelf-life whether in wet or

dry format. Recurring light exposure of conventional vials with use, even

with sitting on the bench, can degrade the product over time and lead to

changes in performance that make reproducible studies more difficult.

DuraClone dry reagents provide a stable solution that can be stored at

room temperature. Compensation problems can be encountered when

using multiple reagents with different storage dates.

• Minimizes photo-oxidative degradation

• Maintains consistent energy transfer efficiency in tandem dyes

• Maintains consistent fluorescence intensity during storage and under experimental conditions

• Enables storage of cocktails at room temperature.
