How Are Negative Controls Implemented in Nanotechnology Experiments?
Implementing negative controls in nanotechnology involves careful planning and execution. Some of the common methods include:
Control Samples: Using samples without the nanomaterial or nanodevice being tested, such as a solvent or a buffer solution. Blank Samples: Employing blank samples that undergo the same procedural steps as the test samples but without the active nanomaterial. Parallel Experiments: Running parallel experiments where the primary variable (e.g., nanomaterial concentration) is absent.
