Session overview

ICP-MS is an increasingly used analytical technique for the characterization of nanoparticles (NPs).
This presentation will explore its working principles and main applications.

In addition, the most common analytical challenges will be discussed, including:

• distinguishing between nanoparticles and dissolved ionic species;

• accurately quantifying NP size and concentration;

• reducing matrix interferences and agglomeration phenomena.

The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current methods and future perspectives in this rapidly evolving field.

The event will be held in Italian
