Soluble in polar organic solvents like acetone, benzene, chloroform, and ethyl acetate
Application
PMMA particles, specifically microspheres, find key applications due to their biocompatibility and mechanical properties. In the medical and biochemical fields, their biocompatibility allows for safe interaction with biological systems, opening doors to various diagnostic and therapeutic uses.
Buffer
De-ionized water. Please contact us if need the specific buffer components or require different storage buffer.
PMMA microspheres are a versatile material characterized by their amorphous, transparent, and rigid nature, offering excellent optical clarity, UV, and abrasion resistance. Their solubility in organic solvents and low smoke emission enhance their applicability. Notably, their good biocompatibility and reduced nonspecific protein binding, compared to polystyrene, make them valuable in medical and biochemical applications. The higher density of PMMA spheres facilitates easier separation through centrifugation, and their hydrophilic anionic surface with a refractive index of 1.48 further expands their utility, including use as bondline spacers where slight deformation under pressure is desired
At Echo Bio, we specialize in producing high-quality PMMA particles with precise control over size, porosity, and surface functionality. Our emulsion polymerization process allows us to create uniform, spherical particles ranging from nanometers to micrometers in size, tailored to meet the specific needs of your application.
