An effective solution to simultaneously analyze size, mass and number concentration of polydisperse nanoplastics in a biological matrix: asymmetrical flow field fractionation coupled with a diode array detector and multiangle light scattering
Summary
Researchers developed an asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation method coupled with a diode array detector and multiangle light scattering to simultaneously measure the size, mass, and number concentration of polydisperse nanoplastics in biological matrices, providing a more accurate tool for assessing nanoplastic pollution levels.
To accurately understand the biological pollution level and toxicity of polydisperse nanoplastics, an effective solution is presented to separate polydisperse nanoplastics and detect their size, mass and number concentration in a biological matrix by asymmetrical flow field fractionation coupled with a diode array detector and a multiangle light scattering detector.
