Applications of 80um Polystyrene Microspheres

Particle Size Analysis

SPS80UM-10 can be evaluated as a model particle for particle-size measurement, comparative testing and analytical method development.

Optical Microscopy

The 80 μm microspheres are readily visible under suitable optical microscopy conditions, supporting particle counting, tracking and morphology observation.

Particle Counter Evaluation

The particles may support instrument-response studies and counting-method development when the instrument aperture and fluid path are compatible with 80 μm particles.

Filtration and Membrane Testing

SPS80UM-10 is suitable for filter-retention, large-pore filtration, membrane challenge and particle-recovery studies.

Fluid Mechanics Research

The microspheres can support flow visualization, particle transport, settling behavior and fluid–particle interaction research.

Microfluidic Device Testing

SPS80UM-10 may be evaluated for channel testing, particle transport, separation studies and device performance research.

Sedimentation Studies

The controlled particle size supports settling-rate, suspension-stability, aggregation and particle-recovery experiments.

Cleaning and Contamination Studies

The microspheres may be used in cleaning-process development, contamination-recovery testing and surface inspection research.

Microplastic Research

SPS80UM-10 can be evaluated as a defined polystyrene particle model for environmental sampling, transport, separation and recovery-method development.
