Several techniques are employed in cell preparation for nanotechnology research:
Microscopy Microscopy techniques, such as fluorescence microscopy and electron microscopy, are used to observe and analyze cells at high resolution. These techniques are crucial for assessing cell morphology and interactions with nanomaterials.
Flow Cytometry Flow cytometry is a powerful tool for analyzing the physical and chemical characteristics of cells. It can be used for cell counting, viability assessment, and sorting specific cell populations.
Surface Functionalization To ensure effective interaction between cells and nanomaterials, surface functionalization techniques are employed. This involves modifying the surface properties of nanomaterials to enhance their compatibility with biological cells.
