Capture efficiency can be measured using various techniques depending on the application:
1. Spectroscopy: Techniques such as UV-Vis, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy can be used to quantify the amount of target molecules captured by nanomaterials. 2. Microscopy: Electron microscopy can visualize the interaction between nanoparticles and target entities. 3. Chromatography: Techniques like HPLC can separate and quantify captured molecules. 4. Mass Spectrometry: This can provide detailed information about the captured molecules and their quantities.
