It has a shared, multi-user facility established to promote cross-disciplinary research in nanobiotechnology and is open to both industry and academia. The NBTC is a scientific research center within Cornell University. The system is now pretty busy and is being used across all the scientific disciplines, often for applications that I never would have imagined,” he said. “ One of the major benefits of the Zetasizer Nano is that I can deliver training in just one hour that enables anyone to use the system and perform basic data interpretation. Research Associate Dr Magnus Bergkvist is responsible for equipping the laboratories and provides training for users on the available equipment.
Many had no previous experience of light scattering systems, so the Zetasizer Nano’s easy operation and straightforward data interpretation have been crucial in making this a truly valuable resource for such diverse research groups. The system has been in place for just over one year and around 80 researchers now have access to it. These range from DNA size measurement and the study of DNA-DNA interactions, through the development of photonic crystal lattices, to the creation of cylindrical nanoparticles. A Malvern Zetasizer Nano particle characterization system at Cornell University’s NanoBioTechnology Center (NBTC) is being used for a wide variety of applications.
