Discover What NTA Can Reveal About Your Sample
Have a nanoparticle, extracellular vesicle, lipid nanoparticle, virus, or other particulate sample that you would like to characterize?
Send us your sample information and tell us what you would like to learn about it. Hyperion Analytical can help evaluate whether Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) is appropriate for your application and, where applicable, perform an analysis using our Envision NTA.
Why Analyze Your Sample With NTA?
Selecting the right characterization technique often depends on understanding how well it performs with your specific material. NTA analyzes particles individually as they move through a liquid suspension, providing information about particle size and particle concentration.
This can help researchers better understand particle populations that may be difficult to characterize using bulk measurement techniques alone.
By analyzing your own sample, you can explore how NTA may apply to your particular research, formulation, or product-development requirements.
What NTA Can Help Measure
- Particle size and size distribution
- Particle concentration
- Individual particle populations
- Sample heterogeneity
- Changes in particle size or concentration
- Differences between samples or formulations
The appropriate measurements will depend on the characteristics of your sample and your analytical objectives

NOT SURE WHETHER NTA IS RIGHT FOR YOUR SAMPLE?
Let’s Talk
You do not need to be an NTA specialist to contact us. Tell us about your material and what you are trying to measure. Our team can review the information and help determine whether NTA is an appropriate analytical approach for your sample.
Before Sending Your Sample
Please provide as much relevant information as possible about your material and analytical objectives. Sample acceptance and analysis will depend on factors such as sample characteristics, suitability for NTA, available sample volume, measurement requirements, and analytical scope.
Our team will confirm the appropriate next steps before you send your physical sample.
Frequently asked questions
No. You do not need prior experience with Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) to submit a sample. Simply tell us about your material, what you are trying to measure, and your analytical goals. Our team can review your information and help determine whether NTA is appropriate for your application.
NTA can provide information about individual particles in a sample, including particle size, size distribution, and particle concentration. It can also help identify different particle populations, assess sample heterogeneity, and compare changes in particle size or concentration between samples or formulations.
Please provide as much relevant information as possible, including the sample type, approximate particle size and concentration if known, buffer or solvent, sample formulation, and your analytical objectives. Any information about sample preparation, storage conditions, or specific questions you want the analysis to address can also be helpful.
No. Submitting the form does not automatically initiate an analysis. Our team will first review the information provided and determine whether NTA is suitable for your sample. We will then discuss the analytical requirements, sample quantity, shipping instructions, and next steps with you before analysis.
The required sample volume depends on factors such as particle concentration, sample composition, particle size, and the measurements required. After reviewing your sample information, our team will confirm the appropriate sample volume and any preparation requirements before you send the sample.
The cost can vary depending on the sample type, analytical requirements, number of samples, and scope of the requested work. Please submit your sample information and analytical objectives so our team can review your requirements and discuss the applicable analysis options and costs.
Yes. You do not need to be certain that NTA is the right technique before contacting us. Provide information about your sample and what you are trying to measure, and our analytical team can help determine whether NTA may be an appropriate approach or whether additional considerations are needed.
Yes. You can inquire about multiple samples, formulations, or sample conditions. Please provide relevant information for each sample and indicate what you would like to compare or characterize. Our team can review the sample set and help determine the appropriate analytical approach and requirements.
