General Purpose Microspheres & Particles

This group of products is designed to meet the need for an economical range of general purpose particulate materials with various sizes and properties where certification is not essential. They have a wide range of applications including filter testing, fluid mechanics, dispersion studies and many other research and development uses.
 

5000 Series Polymer Microsphere Suspensions
A range of polystyrene microspheres available as 10% w/v suspensions in 15 or 100ml bottles. Diameters range from 0.03µm to 3.2µm and, for most of the range, the CV is 5% or less. Density of the particles is 1.05 g/cm3 and refractive index 1.59 at 589nm.

 

7000 Series Copolymer Microsphere Suspensions
Large crosslinked copolymer (poly[styrene – divinyl benzene]) microspheres similar to Series 5000 but ranging in diameter from 3.2µm to 220µm in fourteen different sizes. Physical properties and pack sizes are as for 5000 Series.

New - ChromoSphere Coloured Microspheres

ChromoSphere polymer microspheres are internally dyed with deeply coloured red or black dyes giving them very high contrast and visibility against most backgrounds. They are supplied as dry powders easily suspendable in liquid media and come in seven different mean diameters from 50 to 500µm.

(All the microspheres in the ChromoSpheres range are also available as NIST-traceable certified size standards. For more information, please click this link ChromoSphere-T.)
