Royal Society of Chemistry – NPL Symposium, save the date!

Written on .

Nanoparticle concentration – critical needs and state-of-the-art measurement symposium will be held on 24 April 2018 at Burlington House, London, organised by the Analytical Division East Anglia Region of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).

It will bring together academics, measurement experts, instrument manufacturers, nanomaterials producers and industries interested in their use and applications to:

  • Discuss the state-of-the-art of nanoparticle analysis with focus on nanoparticle number concentration.
  • Present new methods to measure absolute nanoparticle concentration with low uncertainty, alongside the capabilities of a range of commercially available instrumentation.
  • Identify needs and potential pathways to address current limitations in methods, reference materials and protocols.
  • Discuss industrial requirements in the framework of product development, regulatory requirements and the development of standards.

Information of ACEnano will be displayed at the booth of one of its partners, PostNova Analytics. Feel free to ask them about our project!

Stakeholder consultation on needs for nanomaterial physicochemical characterisation

Written on .

ACEnano is running an online consultation for stakeholders with analytical characterisation needs in nanotechnology. The consultation is seeking to identify stakeholders who are interested in working with ACEnano to improve the project’s delivery of relevant and useful methodologies, tools and training materials for nanomaterial characterisation. The consultation can be found here and runs until 15th December 2017. 

Please take part on this consultation! The questionnaire should take no more than 5 minutes to complete and your responses will help to steer the project strategy towards your nanomaterial analysis needs.

Save the dates for OpenTox Euro 2017 Meeting

Written on .

We are happy to invite you to the OpenTox Euro 2017 Meeting to be held 21-23 November in Basel (Switzerland) at the Stücki meeting center.

This year’s program explores the major issues facing the European toxicology community, including Integration/interoperability, regulatory acceptance and the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement of Animal Testing).

Everyone concerned with designing a safer world is welcome at OpenTox Euro: researchers from academia and industry working in vivo, in vitro and in silico, risk assessors and regulators.

Our mission: Promote OpenTox as the place where the toxicology community talks across geographical, political, funding and field-of-expertise borders.
