Triton Technology manufactures the Dye-Trak®
'F' fluorescent microspheres. Dye-Trak®
'F' fluorescent microspheres are a cost effective
alternative to Molecular Probes FluoSpheres®. Dye-Trak®
'F' fluorescent microspheres sell for about half the price
of FluoSpheres®, but they are equivalent to
them, as demonstrated by
the University of Washington Fluorescent Microsphere Resoursce Center (FMRC) Dye-Trak
'F' validation .
Fluorescent microspheres provide a sensitive non-radioactive method of measuring regional blood
flow by dye extraction. After recovery of the microspheres from the harvested
tissue samples, the dye is extracted and quantified by fluorescence
spectrophotometry. Fluorescent microspheres have been well documented in
the literature.
If there is a need to measure more than four time points when using Dye-Trak® 'F' colors,
two of the Molecular Probes FluoSphere® colors
(Red and Crimson) can be added to the color pallet to measure six colors with no
necessity to do mathematical spill-over correction.
Dollar for dollar, this is the most cost effective combination of six fluorescent colors.
Best
combination of six fluorescent colors.
Dye-Trak®'F' microspheres and FluoSpheres® are manufactured under Triton Technology US patents 5,253,649, 5,230,343, and foreign.
Some FluoSphere® dyes are covered by Molecular Probes US patents 5,187,288; and
5,248,782
