About Us

Lab261 is an US based company (located at Palo Alto, California) and offers a broad portfolio of microspheres, nanospheres, microplastics and nanoplastics made from 100% pure polymer materials.

Materials

Available polymer materials include, but are not limited to:

  • Polystyrene (PS, PST)
  • Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)
  • Polyethylene (PE)
  • High density polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Low density polyethylene (LDPE)
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  • Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)
  • Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)
  • Nylon (Nylon 6, Nylon 12)
  • Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
  • Polyurethane (PU)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)

    Attributes

    Our particles can be tailored with the following features:

    • Size: from 10 nm and up
    • Functional groups: –COOH, –NH₂, epoxy, and others
    • Color: red, blue, yellow, black, and many other colors
    • Fluorescence: green, orange, red, near-IR, luminescent, or any customer preferred dye
    • NIST-traceable size standards
    • Organic solvent resistance
    • Cross-linking options (such as PS/DVB, polystyrene/divinylbenzene)
    • Surface charge and zeta potential control
    • High density or low density polymers

    Custom Products and Services

    We also work closely with customers to develop custom-designed products tailored to specialized research or application needs. We have extensive experience working with diverse polymers, functional groups, colors, and fluorescent systems (Ex/Em), and we are excited to support and advance your projects across a wide range of applications. Some examples of projects we have custom-made include:

    • Unique attributes as mentioned above, such as size, functional group, color, fluorescence of various polymers
    • Alternative suspension media/suitable for live cell and live embryo, including reducing surfactant level, changing surfactant, replacing water with other solvent, etc.
    • Custom testing kits containing several samples with select attribute per material
    • Nonporous PS/DVB microsphere/microbeads (polystyrene/divinylbenzene)
    • Bulk quantities
    • Medical-grade PMMA
