Beschreibung

General description

Polystyrene microparticles are anionic-stabilizedcolloidal particles. These microparticles are synthesized by the polymerizationof styrene under conditions that produce coalescent bead formation. Polystyrenelatex beads have a wide range of applications including phagocytosis experiments,antibody-mediated agglutination diagnostics, electron microscopy, and cellcounter calibration.

Application

Polystyrene latex beads have been used:

• inthe flow cytometric assay of endothelial microparticles (EMPs)
• in thedetection of capsular polysaccharide (CPS) antibody/antigen latex agglutinationtest
• to evaluate the phagocytic activity in hemocytes of shrimps
