- Scope
- This document sets requirements for sampling and treatment of the complex matrices in order to obtain a liquid dispersion with sufficiently high concentration of the nano-objects of interest. This document provides guidelines for detection and identification of specific nano-objects in complex matrices@ such as liquid environmental compartments@ waste water and consumer products (e.g. food@ cosmetics). This document requires for the identification a priori knowledge of the nature of the nanoobjects like their chemical composition. The selected detection and identification methods are based on a combination of size classification and chemical composition analysis. Identification can also be supported@ e.g. by additional morphology characterization. Currently only Field Flow Fractionation@ Electron Microscopy and single particle Inductively Coupled Plasma ?C Mass Spectrometry fulfil this combination condition.
