PLA Microspheres

PLA microspheres are micro-sized particles made from biobased, biodegradable polylactic acid polymer. PLA is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. Therefore, PLA microspheres offer a wide range of applications in scientific research, diagnostics, and drug delivery systems due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ease of functionalization.

Applications

Drug Delivery Systems: They are widely used in controlled drug release systems. Their biodegradable nature makes them ideal for delivering drugs in a sustained manner, reducing the need for frequent dosing.
Tissue Engineering: They possess good biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them suitable as carriers for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. They can combine with bioactive substances or cells to promote the repair and regeneration of tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and skin.
Diagnostic Imaging: They can be functionalized with various ligands or targeting molecules, making them suitable for use in diagnostic imaging applications, such as MRI or ultrasound contrast agents.
Gene Delivery: Functionalized PLA microspheres serve as effective carriers for gene therapy, aiding in the delivery of nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA to target cells.
Protein and Antibody Conjugation: With the ability to incorporate specific functional groups, these microspheres are useful in protein and antibody immobilization, supporting applications in immunoassays and biosensors.
