Polymer Microspheres
Polymer microspheres present a flexible platform for applications in diagnostics and bioseparations. They may be coated with recognition molecules, such as antibodies, antigens, peptides, or nucleic acid probes, and can be loaded with hydrophobic dyes and other compounds. Unmodified polymer spheres also find extensive use as standards for instrument set-up and calibration. Available in diameters ranging from 20nm to 200µm, products exhibit excellent size uniformity.
