Easily perform flow cytometry, microscopy, HTS, HCS, immunoassay, and other laboratory applications using our extensive selection of FluoSpheres Carboxylate-Modified Microspheres. FluoSphere beads can be used in passive adsorption or active, covalent coupling of proteins, nucleic acids, and biomolecules for particle capture applications. FluoSphere microspheres are loaded with proprietary fluorescent dyes, making them the brightest microspheres available.

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.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I read that carboxylate-modified latex (CML) beads have a "fluffy coat" of carboxyl groups on their surface. What is meant by this?

The CML beads have a high density of carboxyl groups at the surface. The surface layer is quite hydrophilic and at the appropriate pH (pH>5), are charged; due to electrostatic repulsion, this type of surface is 3-dimensional and may be considered analogous to the fuzz on a tennis ball.

I have some FluoSpheres polystyrene microspheres, with 20 nm diameter. They are aggregating a lot. What can I do about it?

The smaller the microspheres, the greater the propensity to aggregate. But the aggregation is not irreversible. Sonicate in a bath sonicator or vortex to disperse, just prior to use. You can also add a small concentration of Tween-20 or Triton X-100 (unless you are using them in a live-cell system).

I sonicated my 2.0 µm carboxylate-modified microspheres, as recommended, but saw foaming (bubbles) on top of the solution. Should I be concerned?

Use of a bath sonicator is recommended to help break up any aggregated microspheres. The foaming is from Tween-20, which is in the stock solution to help prevent aggregation. It is normal and expected to see bubbles from this. Do not use a probe sonicator, which would cause damage to the microspheres (as well as much more bubbling).

How long and at what concentration should I sonicate my FluoSpheres Carboxylate-Modified Microspheres (Cat. No. F8826) before using them?

You can rock the particles gently to resuspend and then sonicate in a bath type sonicator for about 5 minutes. Particles can be sonicated at any concentration, but we recommend users just sonicate the stock bottle.

What is the warranty for FluoSpheres microspheres?

The warranty period for FluoSpheres microspheres is 1-year from the date of shipment.

Journal:J Physiol
PubMed ID:12562971
'We studied somatic exocytosis of serotonin and its mediation by L-type calcium (Ca2+) channels in cultured Retzius neurones of the leech. Exocytosis was induced by trains of impulses at different frequencies or by depolarisation with 40 mM potassium (K+), and was quantified by use of the fluorescent dye FM 1-43. ... More

PubMed ID:12953883
Colloidal transport in porous media has been typically studied in column experiments from which data analysis was limited to the evaluation of effluent breakthrough curves and/or destructive sampling at the end of the experiments. The internal processes occur within a "black box", where direct observation is not possible and therefore ... More

Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium that is the most common cause of gas gangrene (clostridial myonecrosis) in humans. C. perfringens produces a variety of extracellular toxins that are thought to be the major virulence factors of the organism. However, C. perfringens has recently been shown to have the ... More
