Study of Nanotoxicology by Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0746-WXH)

Introduction

Nanotoxicology is a new area of study that deals with the toxicological profiles of nanomaterials (NMs). Compared with the larger counterparts, the quantum size effects and large surface area to volume ratio brings NMs their unique properties that may or may not be toxic to living things.

Principle

Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) is a method for visualizing and analyzing particles in liquids that relates the rate of Brownian motion to particle size. The rate of movement is related only to the viscosity and temperature of the liquid; it is not influenced by particle density or refractive index. NTA allows the determination of a size distribution profile of small particles with a diameter of approximately 10-1000 nanometers (nm) in liquid suspension.

Applications

NTA has been used by commercial, academic, and government laboratories working with nanoparticle toxicology, drug delivery, exosomes, microvesicles, bacterial membrane vesicles, and other small biological particles, virology and vaccine production, ecotoxicology, protein aggregation, orthopedic implants, inks and pigments, and nanobubbles.
