Nanoparticle Analysis Market: Overview
The National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI) defines nanotechnology as the involvement of science
and engineering for the design, synthesis, characterization, and also
application of materials whose functional organization, in at least one
dimension, lies on the nanometer scale. At these scales, it becomes
important to consider individual molecules and interacting molecular
groups in relation to the bulk macroscopic properties of the material,
the fundamental molecular structure, which eventually allows control
over the macroscopic physical and chemical properties. Nanoparticles are
extremely small objects having dimensions, which are measured in
nanometers (nm). Nanoparticles generally have at least one dimension
less than 100nm in size. Nanoparticles are gaining the focus of
materials scientists and engineers because these comprise properties
different to those observed in bulk samples of the same material.
Nanoparticles smaller than 10nm are observed to emit light or glow, with
light frequency that is determined by the composition of the material
and particle size. These nanoparticles are called quantum dots.
Nanoparticle analysis uses light scattering technique for the detection
of particle size distribution, molecular weight, zeta potential, etc. of
samples. It can be used for the analysis of samples of nanoparticle,
emulsion, submicron suspension, colloform, etc. Nanoparticle analysis is
primarily used to measure particle size, protein aggregation, particle
concentration, and Zeta potential.
Growing focus on nanotechnology research
and development, technological advancements in the analysis of
nanoparticles, and rise in government investments for the development of
health care sector are the key factors driving the global nanoparticle
analysis market. Moreover, increase in demand for customized medical
implants and need for less sample volume and sample preparation in
advanced analytical techniques are the other factors propelling the
global market. However, high cost of nanoparticle analysis instruments
and technologies is projected to hamper the growth of the global
nanoparticle analysis market
