OptiBind can be used direct from the bottle with any precleaning for most applications. Surfactants, which could interfere with protein binding to particle surfaces, are not used in production. Polystyrene surfaces are very hydrophobic and adsorb proteins almost instantaneously. OptiBind microparticles have been optimized for maximum reactivity in many diagnostic applications.
Our newest particle diameters now extend up to 2.5 µM Seradyn | Particle Technologies
Standard Packaging Most microparticle products are sold in 15 mL, 100 mL and 1000 mL packages at 10% solids. Dyed, fluorescent, magnetic and other specialty particles are available in different concentrations and package sizes. The particles are routinely supplied with 0.05% sodium azide.
