Agilent offers a range of polystyrene-based uniform latex particles for research and for rapid, user-friendly, and cost-effective diagnostic tests. Our expertise in the manufacturing and characterization of polymers means we can offer a custom manufacturing service, all with a high level of quality and batch-to-batch reproducibility. These nominally non-functionalized polystyrene particles are manufactured using persulfate-type polymerization initiators, providing a very low surface density of sulfate groups. They may be used in a variety of immunodiagnostic assays where physical adsorption is used to bind ligand to the surface of the particles. The high degree of hydrophobic bonding between the ligand and the particle surface results in an extremely strong bond, which is stable under all but the harshest of conditions.
