Invitrogen™ FluoSpheres™ Carboxylate-Modified Microspheres

Visualize the brightest fluorescence for laboratoy applications including fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, HTS, HCS, and cell tracing with our Carboxylate-Modified FluoSphere Microspheres, which are manufactured from polystyrene microspheres and loaded with different proprietary dyes. Using specialized staining methods enables all of the fluorescent dye molecules to be contained inside each polystyrene microsphere instead of on the bead's surface. This protective environment within the bead shields the dye from detrimental environmental effects, such as photobleaching. Our carboxylate-modified microspheres are coated with a hydrophilic polymer containing multiple carboxylic acids for covalent attachment of ligands. A range of particle sizes is available for different research uses and experiments.
