Transform Nanoscience with Unparalleled Glyconanoparticle Stability Study Service
Our focus is on ensuring glyconanoparticle stability for functional integrity and efficacy. We assess physical stability via particle size, shape, surface characteristics, aggregation, dispersion, and crystallinity using dynamic light scattering (DLS), electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Chemical stability is verified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, chromatographic methods, mass spectrometry (MS), and stress tests, checking composition, structure, bond resilience, functional groups, and excipient compatibility. Storage stability studies, including accelerated stability studies, photostability testing, and long-term studies under controlled conditions, predict shelf life.
Physical stability of glyconanoparticles is pivotal in maintaining their functional integrity and efficacy. It encompasses several key indicators.

- Particle Size and Distribution: Consistency in particle size ensures uniform performance, influencing factors such as biodistribution and clearance rates. We employ advanced analytical techniques like DLS and electron microscopy to assess and monitor size distributions over time.
- Shape and Morphology: The shape of glyconanoparticles can affect their interaction with biological systems. Using imaging methods such as AFM and SEM, we characterize the morphological features of glyconanoparticles, ensuring they remain as designed.
- Surface Characteristics: Surface properties, including zeta potential and surface roughness, impact colloidal stability, and biointeractions. Our techniques, including zeta potential measurements and SPR spectroscopy, help evaluate these properties.
- Aggregation and Dispersion Behavior: Aggregation can lead to loss of functionality. We assess dispersion stability using turbidity measurements and sedimentation profiles to ensure particles remain well-dispersed.
- Crystallinity and Polymorphism: Crystallinity affects the physical robustness and bioavailability of glyconanoparticles. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy are used to monitor crystalline structure and polymorphism.
Chemical stability ensures that the structural integrity and functional groups of glyconanoparticles remain intact during formulation, storage, and administration.

- Chemical Structure Integrity: Preserving the original chemical structure is essential for biological activity. NMR spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy are employed to verify the chemical composition and structure.
- Chemical Bond Stability: The stability of covalent bonds within glyconanoparticles determines their durability. Stress tests, such as exposure to various pH levels and solvents, help evaluate bond resilience.
- Functional Group Stability: Functional groups are critical for targeting and bioactivity. We utilize chromatographic methods and MS to monitor the presence and reactivity of functional groups.
- Reaction Activity with Other Substances: Assessing compatibility with excipients and biological media is crucial. Stability studies involving incubations with model systems help predict in vivo behavior.
Ensuring long-term stability under realistic storage conditions is vital for product shelf life.

- Temperature Stability: Temperature fluctuations can cause structural changes. We conduct accelerated stability studies at elevated temperatures to predict long-term stability at ambient conditions.
- Light Stability: Light exposure can degrade certain chemical bonds and active ingredients. Photostability testing under controlled light conditions simulates real-world exposure scenarios.
- Long-Term Storage Stability: Comprehensive long-term studies under controlled conditions provide data on stability over extended periods, crucial for establishing shelf life and packaging recommendations.

Technology: The stability study of silica nanoparticles
Published: 2018
Journal: Scientific reports
IF: 3.8
Results: The stability of silica nanoparticles in biological environments is crucial as it affects the exposure and activity of core materials within the nanomaterials. Instability can lead to misunderstanding experimental outcomes. The study demonstrates that luminescent silver nanodots (AgNDs) serve as indicators for monitoring the erosion of silica nanoparticles in biological media. Factors like the presence of organic compounds, especially amino groups, enhance this erosion process. These findings highlight that silica structures are susceptible to degradation in cellular environments, suggesting the potential for controlled drug release from silica-based systems through managed erosion.
