Beckman Coulter SuperNova Polymer Dyes

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences launched its SuperNova polymer dyes for flow cytometry that offer increased brightness when excited by the violet laser for their respective channel, allowing for clearer differentiation between positive and negative results for dimly expressed markers. The dyes also have an improved staining index through a proprietary formulation using unique additives to minimize non-specific staining for clearer results. They can help eliminate false positives and reduce re-testing due to unclear results, the company said.
