Polystyrene Beads Conjugated to Cy5 (10 um)

$1,295.00

    Catalog Number: B2013469 (0.1 ml)

    Polystyrene Beads Conjugated to Cy5 (10 µm) are uniform, biotechnology‑grade fluorescent microspheres designed for advanced imaging, cytometry, and bead‑based analytical workflows. Their bright far‑red Cy5 emission and consistent particle size make them ideal for confocal calibration, phagocytosis assays, biosensor development, and single‑particle fluorescence applications. Supplied as a ready‑to‑use 1% suspension, these beads provide reliable performance across a wide range of cell‑interaction and fluorescence‑based studies. Custom bulk amounts of this product are available upon request.

    Products are for in vitro research use only (RUO).

Polystyrene Beads Conjugated to Cy5 (10 µm) – Research Use Only

Cy5‑labeled polystyrene beads (10 µm) are widely used as fluorescent standards and solid‑phase supports in imaging, biosensing, and cell‑interaction studies. Their bright far‑red emission, uniform size distribution, and stable surface chemistry make them ideal for confocal calibration, bead‑based assay development, phagocytosis measurements, and single‑particle fluorescence applications. Each batch is prepared using biotechnology‑grade materials and supplied as a ready‑to‑use 1% suspension.

Catalog number: B2013469
Lot number: Batch dependent
Expiration Date: Batch dependent
Amount: 0.1 ml
Concentration: 1% suspension
Supplied as: Suspension
Applications: Fluorescence imaging, bead‑based assays, phagocytosis studies, biosensor development
Storage: 2–8 °C
Keywords: Polystyrene beads, Cy5‑labeled beads
Grade: Biotechnology grade. Prepared with Type I ultrapure water (>18 MΩ·cm) and sterile‑filtered (0.22 µm).

Scientific Overview

Cy5‑conjugated polystyrene beads serve as robust fluorescent particles for a wide range of analytical and imaging applications. Their far‑red emission minimizes autofluorescence and spectral overlap, making them suitable for multiplexed assays and high‑contrast imaging. The 10 µm diameter provides excellent visibility in confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and bead‑based biosensor platforms. These beads are frequently used to study particle–cell interactions, evaluate phagocytic activity, calibrate optical systems, and support single‑molecule or ratiometric fluorescence measurements.

Common Research Applications

  • Confocal and widefield fluorescence imaging
  • Flow cytometry calibration and compensation
  • Phagocytosis and particle‑uptake assays
  • Bead‑based biosensor and immunoassay development
  • Single‑particle fluorescence and ratiometric detection
  • Surface‑functionalization method development

Usage & Handling Guidance

Gently resuspend before use to ensure uniform bead distribution. Avoid vortexing to prevent bead aggregation. Store at 2–8 °C and protect from light to maintain Cy5 fluorescence stability.

  • Light sensitivity: Protect from light
  • Storage: 2–8 °C
  • Handling: Mix gently; avoid vigorous agitation

What You Get

  • 0.1 ml of 10 µm Cy5‑labeled polystyrene beads (1% suspension)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are these beads suitable for flow cytometry?
    Yes. Their size and Cy5 fluorescence make them useful for calibration, compensation, and bead‑based cytometric assays.
  • Can these beads be used for phagocytosis assays?
    Yes. 10 µm beads are commonly used to study particle uptake and immune‑cell interactions.
  • Can I obtain a COA or TDS?
    Yes. Documentation availability is batch dependent. Please contact us to request COA/TDS for the lot being shipped.
