Description
The BD CBA Human IL-6 Enhanced Sensitivity Flex Set must be used in conjunction with a BD CBA Human Enhanced Sensitivity Master Buffer Kit (Cat. No. 561521, 100 tests, or 561523, 500 tests), a flow cytometer, and FCAP Array™ Software. Detailed instructions on the use of this product can be found in the manual for the BD CBA Human Enhanced Sensitivity Master Buffer Kit. When following the directions in the Master Buffer Kit, the standard range for the BD CBA Human IL-6 Enhanced Sensitivity Flex Set will be 274 to 200,000 fg/mL. An example standard curve is shown in Figure 1. The BD CBA Human IL-6 Enhanced Sensitivity Flex Set should only be used in the same assay well with other BD CBA Human Enhanced Sensititivty Flex Set reagents We do not recommend plexing Enhanced Sensitivity Flex Set assays along with assays from any other Flex Set system (soluble protein, cell signalling, etc.).
