Thermo Fisher Scientific Nonionic Latex Beads, 4% w/v, 10 μm

Invitrogen™ Nonionic Latex Beads, 4% w/v, 10 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.

These nonionic polystyrene microspheres are produced by dispersion polymerization technique. The nonionic particle surface is free of charged groups. 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 μm to 16 μm)
• 20 different surface types for conjugation to various materials
• Surfactant-free for ultraclean applications
• Available in quantities from milliliters to 500 liters

Key Applications

• Instrument calibration (flow cytometry, microscopy, HTS, HCS)
• Flow testing (microfluidics, blood flow, water flow, air flow)
• Cell biology tracers (cell differentiation and tracing)
• Immunoassays (agglutination tests, ELISA, particle capture, contrast reagents)
