Nanomaterials Laboratory

The nanomaterials laboratory is located on the 6th floor of Building 149 in the Charlestown Navy Yard (room 6613). The overall goal of the core is to enable reproducible syntheses of nanoparticle preparations for in vivo use.

Synthetic/Analytical Tools

Glassware specifically designed for nanoagent syntheses.

Large batches of nanomaterials are purified by ultrafiltration

The Brüker minispec TD-NMR enables relaxivity measurements of nanoparticulate magnetic resonance imaging agents

The Zetasizer Nano gives nanoparticle size, polydispersity, and zeta potential
