Product Description

CapitalBio CalSlide™ Nano-Fluorescence calibration slides are novel fluorescence calibration tools based on CapitalBio’s proprietary Nanobrite™ technology. They are specifically designed for the daily calibration and maintenance of fluorescence microarray scanners. Patterned spots of the inorganic Nanobrite™ nanoparticles are arranged on the surface of a standard microscope slide, which can be detected similar to Cy3 and Cy5 dyes. The anti-photobleaching property of Nanobrite™ guarantees the stability of the fluorescent emission intensity of the calibration spots. It is an indispensable tool for quantitative microarray analysis.

Key Features

● Completely photo-stable even after continuous exposure to a 110mW laser for 9 hours
● Shelf-life longer than 12 months under ambient conditions

Applications

● Focal adjustment of the scanner using repeated spots on a slide 
● Convenient for instrument calibration at different Laser/PMT settings based on 5 or 11 graded levels of fluorescence intensity
● Compatible with fluorescence microarray scanners from various manufacturers 
● Custom array design service available
● CalSlide III is specially designed for the function verification of microarray scanners including: focus position calibration, platform uniformity and reproducibility
