Abstract
This protocol describes how to measure the size and concentration of individual metallic nanoparticles using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in single-particle (sp) mode. Accurately determining the size of individual nanoparticles on a per-particle basis, both quickly and accurately, is an ever-increasing need within nanoparticle characterization. ICP-MS is capable of measuring a broad range of metallic nanoparticle sizes with high resolution, thus allowing the measurement of multiple particle populations for the quality assessment of nanoformulations. Additionally, spICP-MS can accurately determine particle concentrations without the need for concentration standards.
