How to find concentration of glutathione stabilized palladium nanocluster using ICP MS?

How to compare different concentrations of nanoparticles for characterization from ICP-MS?

I took measurements of different concentrations of 15 nm and 5 nm Au nano particle solutions. I'm trying to determine which concentration I measured gives the best reading overall. I also...

Any research papers for extraction of nutrient deprivation on macroalgae? Analysed by HPLC-UV and GC/MS. Possibly from macroalgae genus Rhizoclonium?

I am doing my thesis on the nutrient deprivation on the macroalgae Rhizoclonium sp. I will be analysing the levels over a period of roughly 5 days by HPLC-UV and GC/MS. I will be using seawater as...

I want to performe MALDI-TOF MS for bacterial identification, I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me the matrix solution preparation protocol ?

based on what I've studied on multiple papers, for peptide and protein identification Alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) is an appropriate matrix to use, I also know that the CHCA powder...

How does the injection volume impact LLOQ and ULOQ in regression analysis (LC-MSMS)?

Hello, I have run into an issue that has sparkled a debate at work: is the LLOQ/ULOQ impacted by injection volume under the following circumstances: 1) Same dilution factor of all samples 2)...

Why are there two reduction peaks in my cyclic voltammogram?

When I measured the cyclic voltammogram of palladium in the pbs solution, two reduction peaks appeared. This did not match the literature I saw. Why? And how can I find the possible reaction...

Why ICP-MS test for Teflon filters that collected PM2.5, show really high results in the millions of ug/g ?

I analyzed soil and ash samples using ICP-MS for 28 metals, then I resuspended those samples to collect PM2.5 particles in a filter using a selective inlet inlet. My only issue that Fe and Al...

What influences inter-day reproducibility in UPLC-MS/MS analysis?

I was analyzing some metabolites in human plasma. While the intraday precision of these metabolites was acceptable ( less than 20%), the interday precision was quite large. So what influences...

2.6 Drying gas flow controller cannot regulate the requested setting after a fixed amount of time?

We keep getting this error on our Agilent 6470 TQ. We were told it could either be our N2 generator or filter traps. We've called the manufacturer of our generator and they believe it's working...

Konstantin E. German

ICP MS is not good for unswering your question (concentration of nanoparticles of Pd).

You may use Small angle scattering, turbidimetry and other methods that were developed for nanoparticle analyses.

Matthew Wheal

ICPMS can be used for nanoparticle analysis, but it requires specific software and the instrument has to be capable of microsecond-scale measurements.

As Konstantin E. German replied, cell scattering or turbidimetry methods might be a quicker way to get your results.
