Why Are Negative Controls Important in Nanotechnology?
Negative controls serve several crucial roles in nanotechnology research:
Baseline Measurements: They provide a benchmark to measure the effects of nanomaterials or nanodevices against, helping to distinguish between actual experimental outcomes and background noise. Identify Contaminants: They help in detecting any contaminants or unintended interactions within the experimental setup. Validate Results: They contribute to the verification process, ensuring that the results observed are due to the specific nanomaterials or processes being tested and not due to other factors.
