A polymeric latex composition having a hydrophobe incorporated therein can be prepared using a novel method for incorporating the hydrophobe into the latex particles. This method includes providing a loadable latex, providing a hydrophobe dissolved in a water-miscible organic solvent, heating the loadable latex to 30 to 90°C and gradually adding the hydrophobe solution to the heated loadable latex under conditions to keep the hydrophobe in solution and to "load" or incorporate it into the latex particles. The latex can be surfactant-free and have particles which have outer reactive groups which are capable of reacting with free amine or sulfhydryl groups of a biological compound. Such latices can be used to prepare water-insoluble biological reagents having a biological compound attached to the particles.
使用一种将憎
水剂掺入胶乳颗粒的新方法,可以制备出含有憎
水剂的聚合物胶乳组合物。该方法包括提供一种可负载胶乳,提供一种溶于
水溶性有机溶剂中的憎
水剂,将可负载胶乳加热至 30 至 90°C,并在使憎
水剂保持在溶液中的条件下逐渐将憎
水剂溶液添加到加热的可负载胶乳中,以将其 "负载 "或掺入胶乳颗粒中。这种胶乳可以不含表面活性剂,其颗粒的外部活性基团能够与
生物化合物的游离胺或巯基发生反应。这种胶乳可用于制备
水不溶性
生物试剂,其颗粒上附有
生物化合物。
