HOT Article: Analyzing a single nanoparticle

Single nanoparticle spectroscopy for real-time in vivo quantitative analysis of transport and toxicity of single nanoparticles in single embryos

Xu et al., Analyst, 2012, Advance Article

Imagine analyzing a single nanoparticle? That’s what Xiao-Hong Nancy Xu and her co-workers in the USA at Old Dominion University have been doing. They have development a single-NP plasmonic microscopy and spectroscopy and ultrasensitive in vivo assay which they are using to study transport and toxicity of single silver nanoparticles on embryonic development.
