Nanoparticles characterization techniques of NANBIOSIS unit 6
The Unit 6 of NANBIOSIS, Biomaterial Processing and Nanostructuring Unit, has organized during the days 8 to 11 of October in the ICMAB-CSIC a course of characterization of Nanoparticles showing some of their techniques to the CSIC researchers.
Amable Bernabé, the technician of unit 6 of NANBIOSIS has shown the theory and practice of some methods to characterize nanoparticles and how to handle the necessary equipment.
Specifically, these techniques were:
- Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) with Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments)
- Size distribution
- Z Potential
- Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) with Nanosight NS300 (Malvern Instruments)
- Size distribution
- Particle concentration
- Fluorescence
- Light Scattering (LS) with Mastersizer 2000 (Malvern Instruments)
- Size distribution
being these techniques developed through the equipment of unit 6 of NANBIOSIS among which are:
- U6-E03. Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS particle size analyzer.
- U6-E05. Nanosight NS-300 for Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis by fluorescence mode
These techniques are part of the physical-chemical characterization of the cascade characterization service offered by NANBIOSIS and its diffusion will facilitate the access to the NANBIOIS ISCT increasing demand of NANBIOSIS unit 6.
