Nanomaterials are inherently polydisperse. Traditional techniques, such as the widely used batch-mode dynamic light-scattering (DLS) analysis, are not ideal nor thoroughly descriptive enough to define the full complexity of these materials. Asymmetric-flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) with various in-line detectors, such as ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), multi-angle light scattering (MALS), refractive index (RI), and DLS, is an alternative technique that can provide flow-mode analysis of not only size distribution but also shape, drug release/stability, and protein binding.

The increasing use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer and biomedical products has raised concern over their potential accumulation, transformation, and toxicity in biological systems. Accurate analytical methods are essential to detect, characterize, and quantify NPs in complex biological matrices. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has emerged as a leading technique due to its high sensitivity, elemental selectivity, and quantitative capabilities.

Objective: A fundamental understanding of drug diffusion and binding processes is critical for the design and optimization of a wide variety of drug delivery devices. Most of the past literature assume binding to occur uniformly throughout the tissue, or, at best, in specific layers of a multilayer tissue. However, in many realistic scenarios, such as in cancer-targeting drugs, drug binding occurs in discrete irregularly shaped regions.

The chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored vaccine developed by the University of Oxford (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) showed good stability when stored in refrigerator. However, the vaccine manufacturer prefers its transportation in frozen condition. Data regarding the stability of the vaccine after exposure to repeated freezing processes have not been explored yet.
