After final wash in the staining procedures (please refer to Cell Surface Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol), discard supernatant and resuspend the cell pellet in 0.5 ml/tube FluoroFix™ Buffer and analyzed with flow cytometry. If the samples can not be analyzed within 4 hours, resuspend the cell pellet in 0.5 ml/tube FluoroFix™ Buffer and incubate in the dark for 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash 1X with Biolegend Cell Staining Buffer (cat# 420201) and resuspend in 0.5ml/tube Cell Staining Buffer, cover the tubes.
Caution: This buffer contains paraformaldehyde, which is toxigenic and mutagenic. Please handle with caution and wear gloves, lab coat and necessary protection to avoid direct body contacts. -

Related FAQs
- Can I keep my stained cells in your FluoroFix™ Buffer (422101) for many days before acquisition?
-
Keeping stained cells in any fixative for longer periods of time is not recommended. You can use Fluorofix™ buffer as recommended on the data sheet, followed by washing with cell staining buffer and then at the last step, resuspend your fixed cells in cell staining buffer till you acquire your samples in a day or two.
