A bi-weekly event to present and discuss issues related to developments, applications and commercialization of nanotechnology.

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is a new technique for direct visualization and analysis of nanoparticles in suspension, providing a unique range of capabilities, including:

• Particle-by-particle size analysis, yielding high resolution and accurate measurement of size distributions;
• Direct, live view of particles in suspension;
• Measurement of additional parameters such as concentration (particle count) and scattering intensity;
• Measurement of sizes as small as 10nm;
• Ability to measure in fluorescence mode;
• Information rich view of particles in real time.

Duncan Griffiths earned a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of California, Irvine in 1991. Duncan has worked in the field of particle characterization for over 15 years and is currently Business Development Manager for NanoSight Ltd. He is currently working with customers to introduce the company's new measurement technology for visualizing and measuring innovative nano-scale materials into both the academic and industrial markets.

About NanoSight:
NanoSight Ltd, of Salisbury, UK, is the world leading provider of instruments for the optical detection and real time analysis of sub-micron particles. The Company supplies unique instruments for nanoparticle analysis in the sub-micron region that go far beyond existing light scattering techniques in characterising polydispersed systems. The company currently has over 100 systems in service worldwide having begun commercial sales in 2006.

The Company's proprietary knowledge and expertise has enabled the delivery of technologies to blue chip companies and universities for direct visualisation of individual nanoscale particles in suspension from which independent quantitative estimation of particle size, size distribution and concentration are immediately obtained. The Company has recently launched additions to its advanced Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) software that build on the ground-breaking work of NanoSight's LM20 and LM10 systems.
