Overview

Description

Non-functionalized polystyrene microspheres are spherical polymer particles made from polystyrene, a synthetic aromatic hydrocarbon resin. These microspheres typically range in size from tens of nanometers to hundreds of micrometers and are characterized by their smooth surface and uniform diameter. Their inert properties and customizable size allow for broad utility in research and industrial applications.

Application

Standards, markers, or coated with proteins by adsorption for use in diagnostic tests and assays.
