General description
Polystyrene microparticles are negativelycharged- stabilized colloidal particles. These microparticles are synthesizedby the polymerization of styrene under conditions that produce coalescent beadformation. Polystyrene latex beads have a broad range of applications such as cellcounter calibration, antibody-mediated agglutination diagnostics, electronmicroscopy, and phagocytosis experiments.
Application
Polystyrene latex beads have been used as a component of an artificial device to draw blood from mice. It has also been used as a component of the protein-free latex meal for the extraction of the peritrophic matrix (PM) from female Anopheles gambiae.

Recent research shows that visible-light responsive photocatalysts have potential usage in antimicrobial applications. However, the dynamic changes in the damage to photocatalyzed bacteria remain unclear. Facilitated by atomic force microscopy, this study analyzes the visible-light driven photocatalyst-mediated damage of Escherichia
