Nanoparticles are the subject of intense scientific and technological interest in many industries, from medicine to electronics. The global annual nanomaterials market is already worth about €20 billion, exploiting unusual properties of these tiny, highly functional materials. Some nanoparticles may be toxic but there’s no way to reliably measure exposure. Lack of traceable methods to measure dosage reduced confidence in instrumentation, so impeded the development of new applications.

Collaboration enabled Malvern Panalytical to promote multi-angle dynamic light scattering particle concentration measurement as a feature of its Zetasizer Ultra from product launch.
