A freely available "in vitro dosimetry" web application is presented enabling users to predict the concentration of nanomaterials reaching the cell surface, and therefore available for attachment and internalization, from initial dispersion concentrations. The web application is based on the distorted grid (DG) model for the dispersion of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in culture medium used for in vitro cellular experiments, in accordance with previously published protocols for cellular dosimetry determination. A series of in vitro experiments for six different NPs, with Ag and Au cores, are performed to demonstrate the convenience of the web application for calculation of exposure concentrations of NPs.

Preclinical nuclear molecular imaging speeds up the mean time from synthesis to market, in drug development process. Commercial imaging systems have in general high cost, require high-cost service contracts, special facilities and trained staff. In the current work, we present β-eye, a benchtop system for in vivo molecular screening of labeled compounds with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) isotopes.

A multiscale modeling framework is used to couple the co-existing scales, i.e., macro-, micro- and nano-scale, in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes.
