Overview

Description

3.00µm Carboxyl polystyrene microspheres are spherical particles made from polystyrene polymer that are functionalized with carboxyl groups (-COOH) on their surface. The introduction of carboxyl groups enhances the microspheres' ability to interact with a wide range of biological molecules, making them valuable in a variety of biomedical applications.

Application

Carboxyl polystyrene microspheres are suitable for covalent attachment of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids.
