Malvern Zetasizer Nano Particle Sizer Helps Develop Tumour Targeting Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

The Zetasizer Nano particle characterization system from Malvern Panalytical (Malvern Panalytical, UK) is proving to be an ideal research tool for advanced healthcare applications such as gene therapy and selective-target carrier molecules. University of Washington researchers say that accurate zeta potential and particle size measurements were critical to their successful development of fluorescent, tumour-targeting iron oxide nanoparticles.
