Pharmaceutical Fluorescent and Dyed Particles

Pharmaceutical fluorescent-dyed particles and microspheres have emerged as versatile tools for product development with diverse applications. Their utility ranges from calibration of equipment such as flow cytometers to the microscopic visualization of affinity binding and protein coupling. These particles also facilitate the magnetic separation of molecules. Fluorescent-dyed particles are increasingly utilized in light scatter applications for laser diffraction.

When considering purchasing fluorescent-dyed particles, certain factors are crucial, including the intended use of the particles, their size, surface chemistry, composition, and storage life. Reactive groups on the surface chemistry of the particles are essential to enable the binding of biomolecules. The size of the particles must be appropriate for the intended application. The composition and stability of the particles can determine the shelf life of the product. These factors need to be carefully evaluated to ensure optimal performance and value for the purchaser.
