Project code: MRI-LBV-08-45-1032 Leistungstest AF4
Contract period: 01.03.2019 - 31.12.2019
Purpose of research: Experimental development

Nanoparticles are increasingly used and a vast number of nanotechnological products including consumer products, are entering the market. To determine whether a product contains a nanomaterial, particle size and number concentration need to be measured. The EU project ACEnano innovates and optimises analytical techniques to detect and characterise nanoparticles. One task in this project foresees the development of a proficiency testing scheme for nanomaterial analysis to assure comparable performance of laboratories. RIKILT, a partner in ACEnano, will organize this proficiency test. Within the proficiency test particle sizes of gold nanoparticles in an aqueous suspension have to be determined using the technique of asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation (AF4). In parallel particle size distribution of the samples will be measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
