Welcome to the first issue of NanoTrail

Message from the CEO, Jeremy Warren

Welcome to NanoTrail, an electronic newsletter reporting on the latest developments in nanoparticle analysis from NanoSight. We will provide you with short, sharp, technically orientated pieces to introduce you to our NTA technology – Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis – and to update you on development and application.

In this first edition, I am pleased to report that we have just received our 100th order. The system has been installed for Professor Steffen Petersen, at the Department of Physics and Nanotechnology, Aalborg University, Denmark. Professor Petersen will be using the system to study the build-up of multi-layered, targeted nanoparticle drug delivery systems. We will report in more depth on this application in a future issue of NanoTrail. Professor Petersen told us he was attracted to the LM10 not just for sizing particles but also the potential to differentiate between particles of similar sizes based upon their differing refractive indices.

The Petersen group will be constructing drug delivery vehicles around an iron oxide core that will enable the study the effectiveness of different targeting molecules using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.

User opinion is vital to us and has always driven NanoSight development. If you have any views you would like to share, please feel open to contact us directly. Please click on the special link below to 'Contact Us' by email or call on +44 (0) 1722 349439.

If you would like to contribute an article for a future issue of NanoTrail, please do send it in and we will consider it inclusion in an upcoming issue.

On behalf of NanoSight, I hope you find this newsletter both informative and stimulating. If you think a colleague would enjoy reading NanoTrail, send them a copy by clicking on the "Send to a Friend" link at the bottom of the page.
