| 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. |
| 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. |
