Description
BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I is intended to be used for the intracellular staining of post-translationally modified signaling proteins. BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I is used to permeabilize cells and to serve as an antibody diluent and cell wash buffer. It is optimized for use with the BD Phosflow™ brand of intracellular phosphorylated signaling protein-specific antibodies. BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I is provided as a 10X concentrated solution containing FBS and saponin. The presence of a small amount of precipitate may be observable and will not affect the performance of the buffer. Because saponin-mediated cell permeabilization is a reversible process, it is important to keep the cells in the presence of saponin during intracellular staining.
Preparation And Storage
Do not freeze.
Recommended Assay Procedures
Flow cytometry: Dilute BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I 1:10 in distilled water prior to use. If desired, the diluted 1X BD™ Phosflow Perm/Wash Buffer I can be passed through a 0.45 µm filter to remove any residual precipitate. The BD Phosflow™ Perm/Wash Buffer I can be used to permeabilize or wash cells and to dilute antibodies for immunofluorescent staining of intracellular proteins.
