NUS assistant professor Wang Jiong-Wei using the Nanosight-NS300 in his laboratory on October 8, 2024 A team from the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS Medicine) has developed a groundbreaking technology which uses nanoparticles to diagnose and treat atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque in arteries. The researchers use specialised equipment, the Nanosight-NS300, to examine the size, uniformity, and concentration of the nanoparticles to assess their suitability for diagnosing and treating atherosclerotic plaque. A syringe is used to inject a sample with the synthesised nanoparticles into the equipment, and the team is able to observe the size, uniformity, and count of the synthesised nanoparticles in the sample on a screen.
