Microspheres Support
Explore our “Getting Started” and “Troubleshooting” sections for solutions to top inquiries and common problems. Browse through our "Guides and Tools" section to access a comprehensive portfolio of product-related support resources.
Getting Started
- How do you label the FluoSpheres™ microspheres with dye?
- How many dye molecules are there in a single fluorescent microsphere?
- Are the FluoSpheres™ microspheres surfactant-free?
- I noticed that many of your microsphere products have sodium azide present, but I can’t have sodium azide in my application. How should I remove sodium azide from the microsphere solution?
- What microsphere product should I select to perform a point spread function?
Troubleshooting
- My FluoSpheres™ polystyrene microspheres are aggregating; what can I do to remedy this problem?
- I accidentally froze my microspheres; can I still use them?
- I’ve had my microspheres for over a year, and I’m wondering if they’re still good to use. What are some good ways to check their functionality?
- I sonicated my carboxylate-modified latex microspheres as recommended in the protocol, and I saw foaming in the solution. Should I be concerned?
- After washing and centrifugation, there was only a very small pellet left of my microsphere beads and the solution was transparent. Why is this?
