HyParComp™ is optimized for conventional flow cytometry. HyParComp™ are single stain controls that optimize compensation results to reduce errors associated with spectral overlap. These cell mimics are intended as compensation controls to match the single-staining performance of real cells. This product has positive and negative populations separated into different bottles rather than mixed, as with SpectraComp®.

SpectraComp® are single stain controls that optimize spectral unmixing results to reduce errors associated with spectral overlap. This product is intended for spectral mixing or conventional compensation to match the single staining of real cells. Staining with SpectraComp® yields a positive and negative fluorescence peak that will aid in resolving spectral overlap during spectral unmixing or compensation. This product comes in one vial with negative and positive capture mimics combined.

HyParComp™ are extremely bright mimics with a larger binding capacity than polystyrene beads. The binding capacity in HyParComp™ is generally greater than cells, so you will always have enough of the bright population(s) you will need for compensation, unlike cells whose expression of markers can be absent, varied, or unpredictable. HyParComp™also has an autofluorescence that more closely mimics that of lymphocytes/monocytes compared to polystyrene beads, which yields advantages over polystyrene beads when using spectral unmixing or spectral compensation.

HyParComp™ can be run on most flow analyzers. HyParComp™ can be run on sorters with low PSI (less than 35PSI).

XT is the naming mechanism to reflect all 5 species on either SpectraComp or HyParComp products. Think XT= Extra! 

SpectraComp and HyParComp come with 3 species compatibility.
