SpectraViewer image of Brilliant Violet 650 dye

Brilliant Violet™ dyes, including Brilliant Violet™ 650 (BV650), are a polymer dye-based technology and compatible with both spectral flow cytometry, as well as traditional flow cytometry. The violet laser has unique channels far from heavily occupied detectors allowing for larger panels.

BV650 is a tandem dye excited by the 405 nm violet laser and emits at 650 nm. This dye has a low-to-medium relative brightness and can be used for cell surface, intracellular, and nuclear staining. BV650 may have some cross-laser excitation with the red laser.

When using two or more Super Bright, Brilliant Violet, Brilliant Ultra Violet™, or other polymer dye- conjugated antibodies in a staining panel, we recommend that you use Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (Cat. No. SB-4401-42) or Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4409-42) to minimize any non- specific polymer interactions.

Experimental data using BV650 dye products

Figure 1. Excitation and emission of Brilliant Violet™ 650 dye (BV650).

Figure 2. Spectral signature of BV650 dye. Data acquired on a 5-laser Cytek Aurora and normal human peripheral blood cells stained with clone RPA-T8 (hCD8) conjugated to BV650 dye (Cat. No. 416-0088-42) were used for analysis.

Figure 3. Normal human peripheral blood cells were unstimulated (left) or stimulated for 5 hours with the Cell Stimulation Cocktail (plus protein transport inhibitors) (Cat. No. 00-4975-03) (right). Cells were then stained intracellularly, using the Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set (Cat. No. 88-8824-00) and protocol, with CD4 Monoclonal Antibody, FITC (Cat. No. 11-0049-42) and TNF alpha Monoclonal Antibody, Brilliant Violet™ 650 dye (Cat. No. 416-7349-42). Viable cells in the lymphocyte gate were used for analysis, as determined by Fixable Viability Dye eFluor™ 780 dye (Cat. No. 65-0865-18).

Figure 4. C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes were stained with CD3e Monoclonal Antibody, FITC (Cat. No. 11-0031-82) and 0.125 µg of Rat IgG2a kappa Isotype Control, Brilliant Violet™ 650 dye (Cat. No. 416-4321-81) (left) or 0.125 µg of CD4 Monoclonal Antibody, Brilliant Violet™ 650 dye (Cat. No. 416-0042-82) (right). Viable cells in the lymphocyte gate were used for analysis, as determined by 7-AAD (Cat. No. 00-6993-50).
