[0002] Fluorescent microspheres are micro-nano particles composed of organic polymers or inorganic materials (such as silicon dioxide), which have fluorescent dyes, quantum dots (QDs) or rare earth fluorescent materials loaded inside or on the surface. Due to their excellent fluorescent properties, good monodispersity and functional modification characteristics, fluorescent microspheres have important application value in the fields of biological labeling, in vitro diagnosis (IVD), cell imaging and drug delivery.

[0003] The performance of fluorescent microspheres mainly depends on the preparation method, and different synthesis strategies will affect the particle size, fluorescence intensity, stability and surface chemical properties of the microspheres. The common preparation method of fluorescent microspheres is to combine fluorescent chemicals to the surface of the microspheres through chemical bonds to realize the connection of fluorescent substances and microspheres. The fluorescence intensity and stability of this fluorescent microsphere are higher than those of the fluorescent microsphere prepared by adsorption of fluorescent chemicals, and it can selectively bind multiple fluorescent substances.
