Abvigen has developed a large selection of polystyrene micro- and nanoparticles. Polystyrene particles and Microparticles are highly spherical plastic particles in sizes between 20 nm to 3 mm. The polystyrene particles are prepared by using emulsion polymerization process. Coated or conjugated particles are prepared either by passive adsorption or covalent coupling.
Polystyrene spheres with density slightly greater than 1g/cc are a useful tool as reference particles in simulation experiments and process troubleshooting. Functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles and polystyrene particles can be applied for a variety of applications such as drug delivery materials, bioimaging, markers and immunoassay.
