Overview

Description

PMMA microspheres are spherical particles composed of polymethyl methacrylate, a versatile and transparent thermoplastic polymer. PMMA microspheres are known for their excellent optical clarity, chemical resistance, and durability, making them ideal for various applications.

Application

PMMA microspheres serve a variety of functions similar to those of polystyrene microspheres. They are employed as standards or markers in various applications, including immunoassays. Furthermore, these microspheres can be coated with proteins, allowing them to be utilized in research and diagnostic tests.
