Thermo Fisher Scientific Chloromethyl Latex Beads, 4% w/v, 0.1 μm

Invitrogen™ Chloromethyl Latex Beads, 4% w/v, 0.1 μm

Microspheres (also called latex beads or latex particles) are spherical particles in the colloidal size range formed from an amorphous polymer such as polystyrene. The arrangement of polystyrene chains renders the surface highly hydrophobic, making these beads ideal for adsorption of materials such as proteins.

The chloromethyl latex has a high density of chloromethyl groups attached to the styrene monomeric unit. These reactive surface functional groups react directly with amino groups in antibodies, antigens, or other ligands under mild aqueous conditions to yield a stable covalent product in a one-step process. The particles are stabilized by negatively charged sulfate groups and can be used under both high and low pH conditions. This is a hydrophobic latex.

Microspheres Are Available in Many Sizes and Surface Functionalities

• 25 sizes available (0.02 μm to 16 μm)
• 20 different surface chemistries for conjugation to various materials
• Surfactant-free and ultraclean
• Available in quantities from milliliters to 500 liters

Key Applications of Microspheres

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