The Brilliant and Super Bright dyes really do need the Brilliant Stain buffers, but be aware that these buffers are mildly fluorescent, so leave them out if you don't need the dye, and titrate them down when you use them. For many antibodies you'll get better effect at 20-fold less (and cheaper)

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness
