A chemically nonreactive method for the fabrication of uniform core/shell fluorescent polymeric microspheres (see figure) is demonstrated with a flow apparatus. Various dyes and labeled proteins are doped into the appropriate particle phases, and an early example of chemical sensing is demonstrated.
