Polystyrene microparticles are stabilized colloidal particles that are anionic. They are producedby the polymerization of styrene under conditions that induce spontaneouscoalescent bead formation. Latex particles are ideal for phagocytosisexperiments, antibody-mediated agglutination diagnostics, electron microscopy,and cell counter calibration.
Application
Polystyrene latex beads have been used:
in latex particle recovery and size distribution studies[1]
as a component of the colloidal suspensions for light extinction spectroscopy[2]
in the quantification of microvesicles by high-sensitivity flow cytometry[3]

Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) has unique advantages of non-invasive 3D imaging without the need of exogenous labels for studying biological samples. However, the imaging depth of this technique is limited by the tradeoff between the depth of focus (DOF) and

Poorly soluble cobalt (II, III) oxide particles (Co3O4P) are believed to induce in vitro cytotoxic effects via a Trojan-horse mechanism. Once internalized into lysosomal and acidic intracellular compartments, Co3O4P slowly release a low amount of cobalt ions (Co(2+)) that impair
