			What makes a microsphere FDA-approved?
In order to tell whether the microsphere can be used in cosmetics, food, or medical devices it is important to look at the raw materials that are incorporated into the microsphere during manufacturing process.  For example, unpigmented or clear polyethylene microspheres supplied by Cospheric in sizes from 10 micron to 1000 [...]]]></description>

Phosphorescent microspheres in particle sizes 10 to 600 microns are now available from Cospheric LLC. These phosphorescent particles are 90% spherical and appear to be off-white under ordinary daylight or regular room illumination.  However, when the lights are turned off these phosphorescent particles exhibit phosphorescent yellow-green after-glow.

The spheres have tight particle size distributions and are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High-quality polymer microspheres are commercially available in a 
wide variety of colors and with controlled fluorescence, opacity, 
specific gravity, particle size distribution, and electrostatic charge, 
presenting endless possibilities for use in developing and testing 
medical devices. To select the right microsphere for the job, one must 
rely on detailed knowledge of the application and on the technical 
judgment of those working on the project, and employ a simple 
trial-and-error approach.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the biomedical industry researchers are sometimes looking for cells having targeted specific gravities.  In order to locate these cells in test tubes it is useful to have colored marker beads which will show where the delineation between specific densities occurs.  Two microsphere products having densities of 1.065 g/cc and 1.075 g/cc were recently released.  These spheres are offered with density tolerances of ±0.005 g/cc enabling excellent stratification, and bright blue and red coloration for high visibility with the unaided eye.]]></description>

PMMA micropsheres or polymethylmethacrylate microspheres are often referred as acrylic microspheres.  PMMA polymer is an amorphous, transparent and colorless thermoplastic that is hard and stiff. It has good abrasion and UV resistance and excellent optical clarity. It has somewhat poor solvent resistance. PMMA spheres are soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, benzene, or halogenated [...]]]></description>
