Nanomaterial Hazardous Substance Profiling
The field of nanotechnology has revolutionized multiple sectors, from electronics to pharmaceuticals. However, this advancement also introduces new challenges in terms of safety and regulatory compliance. Nanomaterial Hazardous Substance Profiling is a critical service that ensures these materials are safe for use by identifying and quantifying hazardous substances within them.
Nanoparticles exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio, which can lead to different behaviors compared to their bulk counterparts. This makes it essential to thoroughly characterize nanomaterials before they are introduced into the environment or used in products. Our service focuses on identifying potential hazardous substances using state-of-the-art analytical techniques.
The process begins with sample preparation tailored specifically for nanoparticles, ensuring that all components of the material are accessible to analysis without altering its properties. Once prepared, our laboratory uses a variety of advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic methods such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to detect trace elements and organic compounds.
For particle size distribution analysis, we employ Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). This allows us not only to measure the dimensions of individual particles but also to determine their elemental composition. Additionally, Raman Spectroscopy provides information about molecular structure and bonding within the nanomaterial.
Once all data has been collected, our team of experienced scientists interprets these results in conjunction with international standards like ISO 13406-2:2017 for Nanotechnology – Characterization of Particles and Particle Systems – Part 2: Methods for Determining Size Distribution. They then compile a comprehensive report detailing the presence and concentration levels of hazardous substances identified.
This information is invaluable to manufacturers who need to ensure their products meet stringent regulatory requirements regarding occupational exposure limits or environmental releases. By providing accurate, reliable data early in the development process, we help companies avoid costly delays later on due to non-compliance issues.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated as it plays a crucial role in fostering responsible innovation within nanotechnology while protecting human health and the environment.
