• Staining buffer – For the brightest staining intensity we recommend the use of the eFluorTM NC Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (cat. 00-3222) instead of a PBS-based buffer or eBioscience Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (cat. 00-4222). • Intracellular staining – Studies are ongoing to determine the compatibility of the eFluorTM Nanocrystal conjugated antibodies with intracellular staining. Please contact eBioscience Technical Support for further details. • Long term fixation – We do not recommend long-term fixation, but rather we recommend a fixation time of 30 minutes in 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS followed by a wash in eFluorTM NC Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer.
