Description

Fixatives are essential for preparing cells for intracellular cytokine staining. By stabilizing the cell membrane, the fixative ensures that the antibody bound to the antigen on the membrane remains intact. When using flow cytometry to detect intracellular antigens, the cells are first fixed and the membranes are disrupted, after which the corresponding detection reagents or antibodies are introduced. Following an incubation period, the cells are analyzed using a flow cytometer. Our proprietary fixative has been optimized to minimize background and maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, making it an ideal solution for flow cytometric analysis of intracellular cytokine responses.

Notes:
Beware of the potential risks associated with this product as it contains the harmful substance paraformaldehyde. This toxic chemical is classified as a suspected carcinogen, so it's important to take necessary precautions when handling it. Keep in mind the potential for skin, eye and mucous membrane irritation, and make sure to take steps to protect yourself from exposure.
For the sake of your well-being and protection, kindly put on disposable gloves and a lab coat before conducting any operations. Please ensure that you follow this essential safety protocol.

Usage
Here is a rearranged version of the provided content with similar information:
To begin the cell testing process, the cells should first be centrifuged at 1000rpm for 10 minutes. Once the centrifugation is complete, carefully remove and discard the supernatant. Next, add 500ul of fixative that has been pre-cooled to 4℃. Allow the cells to incubate at room temperature, making sure to keep them away from light, for a duration of 10 minutes.
After the incubation period, it's time for another round of centrifugation at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes. As before, dispose of the supernatant and proceed to add PBS for a gentle wash. Centrifuge the cells once more at 1000 RPM for 10 minutes to ensure proper washing.
Once the supernatant has been discarded, it's now necessary to add 1.5ml of a film breaker solution. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for a period of 10-15 minutes. After the incubation, conduct another round of centrifugation, this time for 5 minutes at 1000 RPM.
Getting rid of the supernatant once again, it's time to resuscitate the cells by adding an appropriate amount of film breaker. Make sure to carefully determine the required quantity for optimal results.
To complete the process, the cells should be stained with the detection antibody and then analyzed using flow cytometry.
