Provide greater durability and chemical stability when using solvents with these monodisperse silica microspheres used in instrument calibration and as spacers.

Brand:  Thermo Scientific™ 8100

Product Code. 11503153

Description

Provide greater durability and chemical stability when using solvents with Thermo Scientific™ 8000 Series Silica Particle Size Standards, monodisperse silica microspheres used in instrument calibration and as spacers. Standards are calibrated and certified with NIST™ traceable mean diameters and are suitable for a wide variety of particle measurement applications.

Features:

• Standards are designed for applications requiring monodisperse inorganic spheres.
• Opaque spheres provide more contrast than polymer particles in optical and electron beams; like glass, silica has a much higher density that polystyrene.
