Biotin-Coated Polystyrene Microspheres - 10.00µm

Typical Properties
Catalog	ACCM0425
Coating	Biotin
Diameter	10.00 µm
Material	Polymer
Packaging	Biotin-coated polystyrene microspheres are typically provided as a 1% solids suspension (w/v) in de-ionized water, containing surfactants and sodium azide for stabilization.
Particle Concentration	1% solids (10 mg/mL)
Shipping	RT
Specification Range	9.50-10.50 µm
Storage Conditions	This product should be stored at 2-8 °C. Freezing, drying, or centrifuging particles can lead to irreversible aggregation and a subsequent loss of binding activity. To prevent photobleaching, it is essential to store fluorescent microspheres in their opaque containers, which provide adequate protection against light exposure.

Overview

Description

Biotin-coated polystyrene microspheres are functionalized microspheres with biotin molecules modified on the surface and are commonly used in biological and chemical research. Biotin has a high affinity and can bind to streptavidin or avidin to form a stable biotin-avidin complex.

Application

Biomolecule separation, immunoassays, and nanocarrier research.
