Malvern's Zetasizer APS Measures Nanoparticles in Solution Enabling Accurate Size Determination

Malvern Panalytical has launched the Zetasizer APS, a new dynamic light scattering (DLS) system which automates size measurements of samples in 96- or 384-well microplates. Designed primarily for protein specialists, the new system is fully automated, simply requiring users to insert the plate and press start.

New Contrast Agents for Medical Imaging Based on Nanoparticles

Philips Research and the University of Urbino (Urbino, Italy) have signed a research agreement to study the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticle contrast agents inside living blood cells to prolong the retention time of these agents in the blood. Injected as free particles, magnetic nanoparticle contrast agents are quickly excreted from the blood via the patient's liver, which limits their application.

Hybrid Plastics Achieves Milestone with Nanomaterials

Hybrid Plastics under sponsorship from The National Science Foundation, Electronics Division, has reached a milestone by producing the first conformal coating capable of suppressing tin whiskers. Lead-free electronics are ubiquitous. Consequently, so is the potential of electronic short circuits from conductive tin whiskers which grow from lead-free solder joints and interconnects.
