Analysis Note

For every lot exact values of particle size and standard deviation are determined with an accuracy of 0.001 µm. The size determination of these particles follows procedures described by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA) respectively by the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR), esp.: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) Scanning electron microscope Light microscopy Coulter^™ counter with MDF-systemCalibration of equipment is carried out with NIST-respectively BCR-particle size standards.

Application

Used to validate and monitor the performance of particle sizing equipment.Also used:in acoustic traps to study the effect of non-contact retention of microparticles on trapping performance of lab on chip systemsto synthesize microsphere-based interferometric optical probe called reflectophore

Features and Benefits

suitable for routine instrument calibration checks and corrections available in 5 mL pack size as a neat sample

General description

Monodisperse polystyrene based micro particles (size: 3.0 µm) are a size standard, designed to identify the particle size distribution (PSD) profile of test samples.
