Table 2. Physiochemical properties of non-adhesive polystyrene nanoparticles.

Estimated particle diameter (nm) Measured particle diameter (nm)a ζ-potential (mV)b Polydispersity index
70 71.5 ± 0.2 -6.7 ± 0.4 0.18
200 224.0 ± 1.7 -3.4 ± 0.2 0.03
700 682.4 ± 4.2 -3.2 ± 0.3 0.04

a Diameter (number mean) measured via dynamic light scattering. Data represents the average of 3 independent measurements ± SEM, with n ≥ 100 particles per measurement.

b Measured at 25°C in 15× diluted PBS (10mM NaCl; pH 7.4). Data represents the average of 3 independent measurements ± SEM, with n ≥ 100 particles per measurement.
