Fish and other types of seafood not only provide people with nutrition but also with doses of tiny plastic particles, or microplastics. A new study reveals just how much and what types of ...

With Raman microscopy, there's an additional layer of complexity: fluorescence. Particle fluorescence can overwhelm the Raman signal and make routine analysis more challenging. In comparison, IR ...

Polymer nanoparticles have been extensively studied as possible drug delivery systems because of their ability to control the discharge of drug contained within them and also because of their ...

The latest instruments could be provided by a new vendor or the existing manufacturer. It is common for new models to be sourced due to product obsolescence or enhanced specifications, even when the ...

Accurate monitoring of nanoparticle size and growth is essential to ensure scalability in the development of transfection vectors for gene delivery. This study highlights how Spatially Resolved-DLS ...

We developed new polyester resin particles for use in toner that are prepared by an advanced dissolution suspension method. The new resin particles have excellent characteristics, such as a narrow ...

Up to 11.5 million plastic particles can show up in a single liter of bottled water, at least in a small slice of samples ...
