???Find out how to set up your flow cytometer for our FirePlex assay with our step-by-step protocols.?
FirePlex particles should only be analyzed using the flow cytometers listed below. They require ?green, yellow and red detectors.
Our assays have been validated to work with the following benchtop cytometers?:
- Millipore's Guava EasyCyte? 5, 8, 12, 5HT, 6HT, 8HT, 12HT and 6-2L??
- BD Biosciences' Accuri? C6 (ask us before use for the C6 Plus)
- ThermoFisher's Attune? (not validated for the NxT, the FirePlex immunoassay will only work with a limited range of analytes - contact us for details)

They also work on most BD Biosciences' FACSCanto?, LSRII and LSRFortessa? flow cytometers, if they have the right laser / filter configuration (see below) and subject to pre-testing with our cytometer set-up kit??.
- All flow cytometers listed above must be properly calibrated using the FirePlex particles before performing the FirePlex experiment.

Please note that the assay is not validated for the Life Technologies Attune? NxT flow cytometer and that the FirePlex immunoassay will only work with the Attune with a limited number of analytes.
?Don't have access to a validated flow cytometer or the necessary equipment to run our FirePlex assay? You can still profile miRNAs or cytokines with the help of our sample profiling team, who have analysed over 10,000 samples.
