“…Due to these features, polymer microspheres have found use in various ÿelds, such as the traditional industries of paint, ink, and paper, as well as ÿne applications in recent years, e.g. carriers for enzymes (Hayashi and Ikada, 1990;Omi et al, 1997;Tang et al, 1999;Brahim et al, 2002), separation media for proteins (Ugelstad et al, 1992;Okubo and Hatorri, 1993;Inomata et al, 1995;Feng et al, 1998;Li et al, 2000), DNAs (Uhlen, 1989;Kawaguchi et al, 1989) and cells (Ugelstad et al, 1993), carriers for protein refolding (Shimizu et al, • Immunoassay microspheres (Dolitzky et al, 1994), on which antibodies or antigens are immobilized, are used to detect or separate their complementary antigens or antibodies. These microspheres should be spherical with smooth surfaces and small enough to give large speciÿc areas.…”
