We're excited to see groundbreaking research published this week in Nanomaterials that uses an NS2 NanoSpectralyzer to characterize sorting semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes with incredible precision! Using the Double Liquid-Phase Extraction method utilizing a cholesterol-based polymer, semiconducting SWCNTs are efficiently separated while effectively removing impurities like metallic catalysts and carbon residues that can impact quality.

This study delves into the distinctive selective property exhibited by a non-conjugated cholesterol-based polymer, poly(CEM11-b-EHA7), in sorting semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) within isooctane. Comprised of 11 repeating units of cholesteryloxycarbonyl-2-hydroxy methacrylat...

Exciting research coming out of the Williams' Lab at The City College of New York! They utilized an NS MiniTracer to characterize SWCNT cytokine sensors, featured in a recent article in ACS Sensors.

Overactive or dysregulated cytokine expression is a hallmark of many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. This is true for acute or chronic infections, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and others. Cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) are known t...

New nanosensors for potassium detection have been created by the Budhathoki-Uprety research team at North Carolina State University. This innovative study makes use of an NS MiniTracer and is published in ACS Omega.

Imbalance of potassium-ion levels in the body can lead to physiological dysfunctions, which can adversely impact cardiovascular, neurological, and ocular health. Thus, quantitative measurement of potassium ions in a biological system is crucial for personal health monitoring. Nanomaterials can be us...

New research from the Budhathoki-Uprety group utilizes a MiniTracer to detect quaternary ammonium compounds.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are widely used in disinfectants, cleaners, preservatives, cosmetics, and agriculture. Recently, QACs have been detected in the human bloodstream, breast milk, and neonatal mouse brain, which shows that these compounds can cross biological barriers. In vivo studi...
