Detection of Plant-Synthesized Nanoparticles and their Antibacterial Capacity

Metallic nanoparticles became subject of intensive research because of their potential antibiotic properties. This application note describes how the SPECTROstar^® Nano can quickly confirm Ag and ZnO nanoparticle formation and their inhibitory effect on the diarrhea-causing bacteria Vibrio cholerae and enterotoxic Escherichia coli (ETEC).
