Compensation Controls
SpectraComp® and HyParComp®
Single stain controls that optimise spectral unmixing or compensation results by mimicking the staining performance of actual cells. SpectraComp® contains both positive and negative capture cell mimics for spectral cytometry. HyParComp® contains a positive and negative vial for conventional compensation.
SpectraComp® and HyParComp® XT are compatible with 5 species of antibodies including human and rabbit.
