Description

DVB/Carboxyl Latex Beads, 4% w/v, 1 μm

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.

The DVB/carboxyl microspheres are negatively charged cross-linked polystyrene microspheres with carboxyl functional groups on the surface. The surface charge is pH dependent and hydrophobic in nature. These beads are stable at neutral to high pH.

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)
