Application

Carboxylate-modified polystyrene latex beads have been used to collect morphofunctional data about the immune systems of Carabus lefebvrei, a helicophagous Italian endemic ground beetle often used as an indicator of the habitat quality of the Apennines mountain forests. Carboxylate-modified polystyrene latex beads have also been used to inform comparative studies on immunity defense mechanisms of adults and larvae of the coleopteran Cetonischema aeruginosa and to investigate the phagocytic activity of cultured rat thyroid cells.
Latex beads, carboxylate-modified polystyrene, fluorescent red has been used:
  • along with Milli-Q for fluid dynamic studies [1]
  • along with bile salts for confocal studies [2]
  • for particle encapsulation [3]
