General description
Micro Particles or Latex Beads, commonly known as polystyrene microparticles, are negatively charged colloidal particles. The microparticles are produced through a polymerization reaction of styrene under controlled conditions. The conducive environment of the reaction induces spontaneous coalescent bead formation. Micro Particles or Latex beads are supplied in aqueous solutions composed of polymer particles with water. Polystyrene′s refractive index at 589 nm is 1.5905 and 1.602 at 486 nm.
Application
Micro Particles or Latex Beads is used for a wide variety of applications like:
- Electron Microscopy.
- Cell Counter Calibration.
- Immunodiagnostics, especially for latex agglutination tests, and
- Phagocytosis Research.
Analysis Note
For every lot exact values of particle size and standard deviation are determined with an accuracy of 0.01 μm using a Coulter Multisizer.

We have studied polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-in-1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][PF(6)]) Pickering emulsions stabilized by polystyrene microparticles with different surface chemistry. Surprisingly, in contrast to the consensus originating from oil/water Pickering emulsions in which the solid particles equilibrate at the oil-water droplet interfaces and

The objective of this study is to select a multiple-unit sustained-release formulation and to compare it with both commercial immediate and single unit sustained-release capsules and also to determine whether an in vitro-in vivo correlation exists for single- and multiple-
