An impressive and coherent course about risk evaluation. (Also applicable to nano particle risk evaluation!)

Just recently Toni Harrison on LinkedIn pointed to a very helpfull video regarding risk evaluation done by Peter Sandman. This explains in a coherent way why nano danger pubications gain so much publicity, but also how they gain influence and what they mean whith respect … Continue reading

The use of Zeta-potential in Nano analytics

In relation with production and stabilization of Nano-objects there is very often the talk about observing/ setting the right Zeta-potential. Also a lot of actual analytical instruments promote Zeta-potential determination together with e.g. size determination.
