                                                Mildly fixes cells, preserving their flow cytometric scatter characteristics   Allows simultaneous characterisation of both intracellular and cell surface markers   Rapid technique - whole procedure can be carried out in less than one hour, ready   for immediate analysis or storage for 24 hours   Stringent QC procedures - the quality of each lot is determined using well-defined   blood samples and subsequent comparison of scatter characteristics of obtained   leukocyte populations, ensuring consistent and reliable results lot after lot   A range of intracellular antibodies with optimised protocols for use with FIX&PERM®   FIX&PERM® is a simple procedure making use of two reagents. Reagent A gently fixes cells, while Reagent B permeabilizes them. The specific formulations reduce background and allow simultaneous addition of permeabilization medium and fluorochrome labelled antibodies, allowing staining of intracellular structures such as cytoplasmic or nuclear enzymes, oncoproteins, cytokines, immunoglobulins, etc.
