ISO 23107 Dispersion Stability Testing of Nanoparticles
The ISO 23107 standard provides a robust framework to evaluate dispersion stability in nanomaterials, ensuring that the physical integrity and performance characteristics are maintained over time. This service is particularly critical for industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and environmental science, where nanoparticles play an integral role.
Dispersion stability testing involves assessing how effectively nanoparticles remain suspended or dispersed within a fluid medium without settling out or aggregating. The standard outlines specific methodologies to quantify changes in nanoparticle properties over time, which is essential for ensuring product consistency and reliability.
The process typically starts with the preparation of a homogeneous dispersion using appropriate solvents and dispersants. Specimen prep involves careful measurement and control of conditions such as temperature, pH levels, and mechanical agitation. Once prepared, these dispersions are subjected to various stability tests that simulate real-world conditions under which they will be used.
Key parameters measured include zeta potential, particle size distribution, sedimentation rate, and light scattering intensity. These metrics provide insights into the dispersion dynamics of nanoparticles, helping researchers and manufacturers predict their behavior in different environments.
Understanding these dynamics is crucial because even small changes in nanoparticle dispersion can lead to significant shifts in performance attributes like reactivity or solubility. By adhering strictly to ISO 23107 guidelines, we ensure accurate assessment of dispersion stability, thereby supporting informed decision-making processes within research and development.
Our state-of-the-art facilities utilize advanced analytical techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction particle sizing, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to capture detailed information about nanoparticle behavior during dispersion stability testing. This comprehensive approach allows us to deliver precise results that meet or exceed industry expectations.
- Q: Why is ISO 23107 important for my company?
- A: Adhering to this standard ensures your products maintain consistent quality throughout their lifecycle, enhancing trust among consumers and regulatory bodies alike. Compliance also opens doors to international markets where stringent standards are enforced.
Applied Standards
The ISO 23107 standard is widely recognized as the gold standard for nanoparticle dispersion stability testing due to its rigorous methodology and consistent approach across various materials. Other relevant standards include ASTM E562-18 (Standard Test Method for Determination of Zeta Potential by Electroacoustic Spectroscopy) and EN 14830:2009 (European Norm on Nanomaterials).
These international norms provide additional depth to the testing protocol, ensuring that all aspects of nanoparticle behavior are thoroughly examined. They also facilitate seamless integration between different phases of product development, from initial formulation through final manufacturing stages.
The combination of these standards ensures a holistic view of nanoparticle dispersion stability, covering everything from raw material selection to end-use performance evaluation. This comprehensive approach helps maintain high standards throughout the supply chain, fostering innovation while safeguarding public health and safety.
