The melamine nanospheres and microspheres have been modified to have a high density of carboxy functional groups. Melamine nanospheres and microspheres with carboxy group terminated surfaces are used for various conjugation reactions in biomedical research, biotechnology in development of variety of assays, microarray technology etc. Our melamine particles have the following properties:
• COOH groups: 1mM/g
• Density: 1.51 g/cm
3• Refractive Index: 1.68
• Highly spherical with C.V. <3 %
• High temperature stability up to 250°C
• Excellent mechanical strength
• Compatible with majority of inorganic and organic solvents
• Low non-specific protein adsorption
• Good colloidal stability over a wide range of pH values and ionic strength.
• Available sizes: 500nm - 10µm
