Fluorescent Tracer Microspheres are round spherical particles that emit bright colors which are broad spectrum excitable (300nm thru emission color). The ability to emit intense color under UV (black light) illumination provides contrast and visibility of microspheres relative to background materials. These dry fluorescent microspheres are ideal tracer particles for air, water or solvent dispersal. The small size, bright colors, low toxicity, and solvent resistance allow suitability for studying of powder dispersal, toxin ingestion, and as micro-fluidic tracers.

FM-series fluorescent microspheres have the following properties:

  • Dry powder 1-5 um diameter (~2 micron mean)
  • Thermoset amino formaldehyde polymer
  • Density of 1.3g/cc (1.3g/ml)
  • Hydrophilic - no surfactant required.
  • Solvent resistant to most solvents
  • High temperature capable, up to 225ºC
  • Non-toxic
  • Multiple colors for combined variable testing.
