Standard Plain Polystyrene Surface

SPS3UM-10 has a non-functionalized polystyrene surface without added carboxyl or amino groups.

The hydrophobic surface is suitable for general particle research and passive biomolecule adsorption.

For controlled covalent coupling, SHBC also supplies carboxyl, amino and other functionalized polystyrene microspheres.

Benefits of 5% Solid Content

The 5% solids format provides flexibility for research and production use.

Users can dilute the dispersion to the required working concentration while supporting repeated testing, assay development and larger-volume projects.

Standard Microspheres or Certified Size Standards?

SPS3UM-10 is positioned as a standard plain polystyrene microsphere for research and method development.

It should only be described as a certified or traceable particle-size standard when corresponding certification documents are supplied for the specific batch.

Customers requiring calibration materials should confirm particle-size tolerance, CV, testing method and traceability requirements before ordering.
