Figure 1. Fluorescence intensity comparison of Super Bright 780 conjugates and Brilliant Violet™ 786 conjugates. (A) Mouse splenocytes stained with anti-CD4 conjugated to Super Bright 780 (red, Cat. No. 78-0042-80) or Brilliant Violet 786 conjugate (gray), at the same concentration of antibody. (B) Human peripheral blood cells stained with anti-CD8a conjugated to Super Bright 780 (red, Cat. No. 78-0088-41) or Brilliant Violet™ 786 conjugate (gray), using the same concentration of antibody.
Comparable to Brilliant Violet 786 conjugates
Invitrogen eBioscience Super Bright 780 antibody conjugates for flow cytometry provide:
- Reduced spillover into other violet channels
- Options in marker and clone selection for violet laser–excitable antibody conjugates
- Compatibility with standard intracellular buffers, viability stains, compensation beads, and other antibodies

Multiplexing compatibility | Buffer | Multiplexing considerations |
---|---|---|
Multiplexing with 1 Super Bright antibody conjugate | Standard buffers applicable | No special buffer required when only one Super Bright antibody conjugate is used in a panel |
Multiplexing with 2 or more Super Bright antibody conjugates | Super Bright Staining Buffer | Special staining buffer is required prior to addition of Super Bright conjugates to reduce non-specific dye-dye interactions |
Multiplexing with 1 or more Brilliant Violet™ antibody conjugates | Super Bright Staining Buffer | Special staining buffer is required to reduce non-specific dye-dye interactions. Use of the Super Bright Staining Buffer is recommended, but the similar Brilliant Stain Buffer can be substituted |
Viability stain options | Product | Multiplexing considerations |
---|---|---|
Fixable | LIVE/DEAD fixable dead cell stain kits | No compatibility concerns |
Non-fixable | SYTOX non-fixable dead cell stains Ready Flow Ready-to-use viability reagents | No compatibility concerns Compatible with all Ready Flow reagents for viability |
Product | Multiplexing considerations |
---|---|
UltraComp eBeads microspheres | UltraComp eBeads microspheres are compatible but OneComp eBeads are not compatible with violet lasers; the AbC Total Antibody Compensation Bead Kit is also compatible with the Super Bright antibody conjugates. |
Staining Target | Product | Multiplexing considerations |
---|---|---|
Cytosolic staining (cytokines) | Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set | No compatibility concerns |
Nuclear staining (transcription factors) | Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set | No compatibility concerns |
Figure 4. Staining performance and post-fixation stability. Human peripheral blood cells stained with CD8a antibody conjugated to Super Bright 780 (Cat. No. 78-0088-41) and analyzed immediately (red) or subjected to different fixation buffers per the recommended protocol: (A) eBioscience Foxp3 / Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (Cat. No. 00-5523-00), (B) eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49), or (C) eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer followed by 30 minutes in 90% methanol and were analyzed at 30 min (blue), overnight (orange) or after 3 days (green).
