Description

Microspheres (also called latex beads or latex particles) are spherical particles in the colloidal size range that are formed from an amorphous polymer such as polystyrene. Because of the way that the polystyrene chains arrange themselves in the bead, the surface is very hydrophobic in character, making these ideal materials for the adsorption of materials such as proteins.

These nonionic polystyrene microspheres are produced by dispersion polymerization technique. The nonionic particle surface is free of charged group. The particles are stabilized by neutral, hydrophilic polymer stabilizers, making them stable in a wide pH range and in high salt. The non-ionic surface is also not subject to the aggregation effects of polyvalent cations.

Microspheres Are Available in Many Sizes and Surface Functionalities

25 sizes to choose from—0.02 microns to 16 microns

20 different surface—for ready conjugation to virtually any material

Surfactant free—ultraclean

Various quantities—from milliliter to 500-liter amounts

Key Applications of Microspheres

Instrument calibration (flow cytometry, microscopy, HTS, HCS)

Flow testing (microfluidics, blood flow, water flow, and air flow)

Cell biology tracers (cell differentiation and cell tracing)

Immunoassays (agglutination tests, ELISA, particle capture, and contrast reagents)
