Insights Into Multi Fluorescence NTA Based EV Characterization – ISEV ‘EV Imaging in Vivo’ Workshop

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) with the Particle Metrix ZetaView® instrument family allows fast and reliable measurement of size, concentration, and Zeta Potential of nanoparticles. In contrast to scatter-based particle detection, fluorescence detection capability of the ZetaView® instrument allows the user to get biochemical information about particles. This increases the resolution and discriminatory power of the data. Furthermore,…

The pH Value Is a Key Factor in Cell and Tissue Cultures

The term “pH” is derived from either “pondus hydrogenii” or “potentia hydrogenii”. Both are originally Latin phrases, with “pondus hydrogenii” meaning “weight of hydrogen” and “potentia hydrogenii” meaning “power of hydrogen”. The pH value is a non-dimensional number that measures how acidic or alkaline an aqueous solution is. It is defined as the negative decimal…
