| Abstract | Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) show new and interesting properties leading to an increased use in various application fields and have entered our daily environment (e.g., functionalized clothing, cosmetics, food, medicine). Though on the one hand nanotechnology plays a substantial role in societies' daily life, on the other the presence and behavior of ENPs in organisms and the environment is still unclear to a large extent. Furthermore, comprehensive legislative regulation is still missing. For adequate regulation a clear definition of ENPs is needed. A definition recommendation was released in 2011 by the European Commission (EC) on the basis of size and number of ENPs present within a defined size range. However, straightforward analytical techniques which easily provide information allowing for a decision (based on the EC definition) on the presence and concentration of ENPs in a given sample do not exist yet. A promising tool, offering fraction-related size information on the one hand and allowing for element-specific detection on the other is the coupling of asymmetric flow-field-flow-fractionation (AF4) with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In this work, a new strategy for quantifying silver nanoparticle (AgNP) size fractions (30 nm ± 2.1 nm, 75 nm ± 3.9 nm) after base-line AF4 separation relying on on-line ICP-MS detection combined with “post-channel” species-unspecific on-line isotope dilution (on-line ID) was successfully developed. A limit of detection (LOD) of 0.5 μg Ag L−1 and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.6 μg Ag L−1 were achieved by the approach applied. The recovery values for the smaller size-fraction (30 nm) were in the range of 31–41% while for the larger size-fraction (75 nm) in the range of 75–78%. The overall reproducibility (RSDs, peak areas) was in between 3.4–5.4%. Validation of the on-line ID approach was achieved via off-line fraction collection and total silver determination afterwards; a bias of 2.9–16.4% between both approaches was observed indicating that the on-line ID approach is working properly. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that species-unspecific (post-channel) on-line ID was combined with AF4/ICP-SF-MS for fraction-related quantification of AgNPs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
