To insure acceptable performance, each batch of product is tested by flow cytometry to conform with thecharacteristics of a standard reference reagent. Representative data are included with this product insert.
Warning
Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin,eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash withcopious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxichydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide- containing compounds in running water before discardingto avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Since applications vary, you should determine the optimum workingdilution of the product that is appropriate for your specific need.
