Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the IgG2a isotype control antibody used for in flow cytometry?
This monoclonal antibody IgG2a isotype control is used as a negative control in flow cytometry to establish a baseline fluorescence signal. It helps researchers distinguish specific antibody binding from non-specific binding, ensuring accurate validation of experimental results in hematological research.
Is this antibody suitable for clinical diagnostic use?
No, this monoclonal antibody is explicitly intended for research settings only. It is not sterile for clinical use and should not be used in diagnostic or patient care environments.
How is the IgG2a isotype control antibody supplied, and is it single-use?
The antibody is supplied as a reagent for laboratory use and is designed for single-use applications. This ensures consistency and reliability in research workflows, as reuse could compromise accuracy.
What regulatory clearance does this antibody hold?
This device holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the reference number K922085, classified as a Class II medical device (product code GKZ). It was reviewed by the Hematology (HE) Advisory Committee and determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
Can this antibody be stored for long-term use, and are there specific storage instructions?
While the device data does not specify storage conditions, monoclonal antibodies like this typically require refrigeration (2–8°C) to maintain stability. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for optimal storage and handling to preserve functionality.
