Application

Amine-modified polystyrene latex beads have been used to develop an electrochemical nitrite nanosensor as well as to validate a pharyngeal aspiration technique for exposing the mouse lung to respirable particles.
Latex beads, amine-modified polystyrene, fluorescent orange has been used in the preparation of nano-particles in biophysical characterization.[1] It has also been used in the preparation of nano-particles for cytotoxicity studies in yeast and cell lines.[2][3]

      Helpful?

  2. How did you verify the amine coating? What spectroscopy method have you used to verify the amine coating? Can you show the result that proves that the amine has been coated? (For example, if you have done FTIR, then can you show us the peaks)

    1 answer
    1. The amine modification of these beads is validated through an extensive series of titrations. Unfortunately, the method is considered proprietary. There is no specific documentation or data available to share.
