Fluorescent Polystyrene Microspheres For Lateral Flow

Our fluorescent polymer microspheres are available in many particle sizes, colors, densities, and excitation and emission wavelengths, can be stored at room temperature or dispersed in aqueous media without degrading their fluorescent properties. The fluorophore is embedded into the polymer matrix to ensure that it will not leach out and will not diminish performance over time. With this strategy, surface groups remain available for conjugating ligands (proteins, antibodies, nucleic acids, etc.) to the surface of the bead, which is important for analyte-detection and immunoassay applications.
