Agglomeration and aggregation of nanoparticles

The question of nanoparticle agglomeration and aggregation is important for many issues, from product performance and associated quality control, to production process optimization, risk assessment and associated regulatory requirements. In France, the mandatory annual declaration of substances in the nanoparticulate state (R-Nano register) requires information on the state of aggregation of nanoparticles...

Webinar NMF-Concentration of nanoparticles 03/22/2024

Measuring the concentration of nanoparticles in liquids is important for a number of reasons. Whether (i) to support regulatory requirements (particularly those for medical devices - MDs - where assessment of possible nanoparticle release during use of the MD can modify its classification in the eyes of the authorities), (ii) to provide data as part of risk assessment (environmental or health), (iii) to validate the...
