MJS BioLynx Well Being
Charity of the Month
Every month in our 2024/2025 year, Chromatographic Specialties Inc. / MJS BioLynx will spotlight organizations that hold significant importance to us. Our aim is to raise awareness about their impactful work.
This month, we are proud to feature Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue.
As a wildlife rehabilitation center, Soper Creek cares for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into their natural habitat.
Above is our sponsored mascot “Floki’” who lives at Soper Creek. He also appears in our 2025 calendar!
Send this area of interest form link to your lab mate to join our newsletter, once they do, we will donate $10 on your behalf.

TECHNICAL REPORTS
AZDye™ vs Alexa Fluor
AZDyes™ demonstrate equivalent performance to Alexa Fluor® in this comprehensive study.
The high photostability and signal intensity of sulfonated dyes have revolutionized fluorescence labeling, but Alexa Fluor® dyes aren’t the only game in town.
Data from Vector's new Tech Note demonstrate AZDye™ offer comparable performance to Alexa Fluor®, at a fraction of the price, enabling high quality fluorescence for a range of research budgets.
Additional benefits of AZDye™ fluorophores:
- Spectral breadth (UV to near-IR options)
- High lot-to-lot purity and reproducibility
- Multiple conjugation chemistry options
- Robust quality system and tech support
- Numerous cited applications
For more fluorophore options, their comprehensive portfolio of fluorescent dyes provides broad spectral coverage and a wide variety of performance characteristics and chemistries to address all scientific needs.
Biorbyt – Flow Cytometry and FACS: The Difference
Flow cytometry has long been a staple tool in cell biology, allowing researchers to analyze the properties, physical and chemical, of cell and tissue samples by passing them through a laser. The way the light is scattered can be measured and provide crucial insights into the makeup of the sample.
FACS is a further innovation. An adapted form of flow cytometry, FACS provides the added benefit of being able to incorporate cell sorting based on the fluorescence of the various cells in the sample.
Biorbyt has taken a look at the benefits of each technique as well as why, where and when you should choose one over the other.
Thank You!
