- Description
- RFQ The Forensic Chemistry Center (ORA/CER/FCC) requires a dynamic light scattering system for the characterization of nanoparticles. The incorporation of nanomaterial into medicine/medical devices, food contact surfaces, dietary supplements, and unapproved uses are becoming increasingly common. The ability to distinguish between nanomaterial and non-nanomaterial is imperative because nanotechnology exhibits properties that greatly differ from their bulk counter material. Nanoparticle behavior can also be a function of size and stability (measured as zeta potential) in its dilution matrix (nano-specific attributes that can be characterized). The capability to couple a dynamic light scattering system through the use of a flow cell to other mass spectrometric instrumentation will increase the confidence in identifying the composition of the nanoparticle and the material coating the nanoparticle. A dynamic light scattering system will provide the FCC with the ability to differentially detect nanomaterial versus their bulk counter material and conduct size/zeta potential characterization in products that are being submitted for analysis. Please see attached solicitation.
