• Very high level of TiO2 to prevent “cross-talk” between the wells
during the qPCR fluorescence testing procedure
• Minimized background phosphorescence caused by
agglomeration of TiO2 and/or oxidized (stressed) polystyrene
• Preservation of polystyrene grade properties
• Change control of formulation and manufacturing process
• Robust product quality from batch to batch
• Developed optimally dispersed, ready-to-use
white formulation that maintains adequate signal
transmission, as well as minimizing “cross-talk”
and background phosphorescence
• Optimized the use of general purpose polystyrene
(GPPS) for a good balance between melt flow
and other physical properties, such as stiffness
• Provided comprehensive change control of raw
