The UK’s national metrology institute, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), is commencing a one-year evaluation program
of NanoSight’s nanoparticle characterisation technology, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA). The program takes the form of a Joint Industry Project, funded in part by government. The initial objective is a validation of NTA and comparison with existing nanoparticle sizing techniques and standards. Dr Alex Cuenat, NPL’s Nanomaterials Group Leader, reports: “What differentiates NanoSight from existing light scattering techniques is that it provides a direct view of the sample under analysis and rapid quantitative estimation of the sample size, size distribution and concentration.”
