New technique can remove nanoparticles unaltered from blood with ease.

Expanded use of engineered nanoparticles in consumer products and drug delivery increases the potential for environmental release, overexposure or unintended biological exposure. As a result, extraction techniques with integrated measurement capabilities are needed to accurately and safely extract samples to quantify nanoparticle size, mass, and particle number distributions in biological matrices.  However, removing nanoparticle by-type from biological substrates has proven difficult, in that surface chemistry … Continue reading New technique can remove nanoparticles unaltered from blood with ease.
