Hi all,
        Does anyone know of a commerical source of fluorescent beads
that are around 25 microns in diameter? We are sorting large cells
and need something in that size range to calibrate the instrument.

        Many thanks,
                   Tobias

Gary (and anyone following this thread),
                        Thanks. As far I can
tell, introgen's beads top our at 15 µm. Well
that might be ok, but I was hoping to find 25 µm
(it is our average cell diameter). Sorry I didn't
make that clear (or perhaps there is a product I
missed on their web page amid all of the smaller
beads?).

        As ever
                Tobias

You may check spherotech. They appear to have particles up to 35 µm.

Polysciences has fluorescent polystyrene in that size range:

Kisker (Discover science) has 10micron fluorescent silica and 20 micron biotinylated that should be easy to label with fluorescent avidin.

As David has said, do check out Polysciences:

http://www.polysciences.com/Catalog/40/categoryId__4

They used to manufacture beads to your specification if required, and I
don't think that has changed or that it was that expensive - but it's been
many years since I last did it.

Small multi-color fluorescent beads (was "big fluorescent beads")

Somewhat related to this last posting, can anyone recommend a source of small (50 nm diameter or less) multi-color (at least two distinct emission spectra) fluorescent microspheres? Commercial vendors may also contact me directly offline.  

Thank you.
