Applications at a Glance

What bead do you need?

Agglutination Tests / Assays

Polymer and Fluorescent Microspheres are well-suited for agglutination assays. The reproducibility and consistency of these products eases your development time.

 

Calibration / Validation

To produce consistently reliable results, instruments must be calibrated and validated in order to ensure peak performance. Our Flow Cytometry Products offer calibrators for size, fluorescence, alignment, and linearity. The NIST Traceable Particle Size Standards can be used to validate sizing instruments across their dynamic ranges. ViaCheck™ Viability Instrument Standards can be used to confirm and verify the performance of image-based cell viability instruments.

 

Cell Separations

Superparamagnetic particles are used extensively for the isolation of biomolecules and cells in diagnostics. When coated with recognition molecules, they permit the rapid separation of high purity cell fractions.

 

Flow Cytometry / Fluorescence Microscopy

Our flow cytometry particles offer calibrators for size, fluorescence, alignment, quantitation, analyte detection, and linearity.

 

Immunochromatographic Strip Tests / Assays

Polymer and fluorescent microspheres are great for lateral flow tests. The brilliant colors make your test strip stand out, while helping your dynamic range. The available conjugation chemistries provide a wide choice for molecule attachments.

 

Instrument QC

Our flow cytometry products provide all you need in order to maintain a complete QC program. Products are offered for daily QC and instrument set-up, linearity checks, compensation, count and fluorescence verification, and calibration.

 

Magnetic Particle Assays

The properties of superparamagnetic particles contribute to sensitive detection of target, as highly efficient washes deplete interfering compounds.

 

Molecular Diagnostics

Our superparamagnetic particles have very high iron contents that reduce separation time. The wide variety of functional groups and large lot sizes will speed your assay development success.

 

Nucleic Acid Purification

Superparamagnetic products offer specific and nonspecific nucleic acid separation/purification. Inorganic silica particles offer the hydrophilic surface that you may need.

 

Proximity Assays

When you need to bring the analytes together, look to our particles for the ideal surface or substrate.
