Fluorescent PMMA Microbeads (unmodified)
PolyAn's fluorescent microparticles (beads) are available in various sizes, emission colors, and fluorescence intensities. The fluorescent PMMA beads are suitable for a wide range of bioassays, cell labeling, and molecular screening applications. Typical applications include calibration of flow cytometers or fluorescence imaging systems as well as multiplex bead assays.
The fluorescence intensity of the beads can be tailored to specific applications and read-out systems. We are happy to help you select the right fluorescence intensity for your application. Customized coupling of biomolecules is available upon request. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have a specific request!
