Our production does not utilize common surfactants (like SDS, Tween 20, Triton X-100) that can interfere with protein binding to particle surfaces. Polystyrene surfaces are very hydrophobic and adsorb proteins almost instantaneously. Our proprietary anionic surfactant does not interfere with the binding of proteins nor cause proteins to desorb from microparticle surfaces.
- Available in a wide range of diameters (from 0.1 µM to 2.5 µM)
- No pre-washing
- Tight size distribution—CV<2%
- Optimized colloidal stability
- Shelf-life of 10 years
Storage Conditions: Store at 2-8°C.
Recommended for: Clinical diagnostics, molecular biology, nephelometric, turbidimetric and slide agglutination assays
