Standard Plain Polystyrene Surface

SPS500-10 has a non-functionalized polystyrene surface without added carboxyl or amino groups.

The plain 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

SPS500-10 is supplied at 5% solids for flexible laboratory and production use.

The concentrated format allows users to prepare different working concentrations while reducing packaging volume and supporting repeated testing, formulation development and bulk projects.

Standard Microspheres or Certified Size Standards?

SPS500-10 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 product and batch.

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