Particle Metrix

frontier technology - cooperative spirit They both have many years of experience in the analysis of various micro- and nanoparticles.

Particle Metrix was founded in 2004 by the chemist Margret Böck and physicist Dr. Hanno Wachernig in Meerbusch near Dusseldorf. During the first two years, the company focused on counseling work for the particle characterization business. In 2006, Particle Metrix started developing its own nanoparticle
analyzers. Today, Particle Metrix's know-how comprises the development, production and sale of particle analysis devices using nanoparticle tracking technology. The company headquarter is nowadays located in Inning am Ammersee at the gates of Munich, and in addition to the administration and development department, also includes production as well as the service and support center. An experienced team of electrical engineers, chemists, biologists and physicists is available to the
customer to competently answer all possible questions. In addition to the large area of technical nanoparticles (e.g. colloidal and macromolecular solutions, emulsions, dispersions or nanobubbles), bio-medical and clinical applications play a central role for Particle Metrix. The company has specialized in the characterization of extracellular vesicles, exosomes, liposomes and viruses, using both scatter and fluorescence-based methods. The focus of
interest is on determining the size and concentration as well as measuring zeta potential of particles in the nanometer scale

RNA-based therapeutics hold immense potential to transform modern medicine due to their high safety profile, versatility, and rapid manufacturability.

However, naked or conventionally complexed mRNA is inherently unstable, requires high doses, exhibits poor cellular uptake, and shows limited endosomal escape. As a result, efficient systems are essential for successful in vitro, pre-clinical, and clinical applications. Among non-viral approaches, lipid nanoparticles ( ) have emerged as the most advanced and clinically validated platform for nucleic acid delivery, enabling effective protection, transport, and intracellular release of mRNA.

Against this backdrop, we are pleased to announce the start of a new this week with the Steinbeis-Innovationszentrum Zellkulturtechnik ( ) at Technische Hochschule Mannheim, led by Manfred Frey, CEO and Founder of the Center. We are very much looking forward to the scientific outcomes of this collaboration.

The SIZ project focuses on the development of novel, improved lipid nanoparticle formulations for delivery, with the goal of enhancing transfection efficiency in cell types that are typically difficult to transfect using conventional methods. Such advancements are critical for expanding the applicability of mRNA therapeutics across a broader range of cell models and disease indications.

We are especially excited that the Particle Metrix ZetaView® platform will play a central role in this work. It will be used for precise particle concentration and size analysis of the SIZ-LNP formulations, enabling comprehensive characterization in both scatter mode and fluorescence mode. This dual-mode analysis is of particular importance for correlating LNP physicochemical properties with functional performance, such as specific transfection activity. Accordingly, ZetaView® is employed by SIZ as an essential component of quality control throughout the formulation development process.

This collaboration is a strong example of how cutting-edge lipid and LNP formulation research can be seamlessly combined with advanced nanoparticle analytics to accelerate innovation in RNA therapeutics.

A recent publication features the use of ZetaView® QUATT for the characterization of extracellular vesicles ( ) isolated from seminal plasma.
In the study, the authors optimized size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and compared it with ultracentrifugation as an isolation method.
Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis ( ) using ZetaView® QUATT was applied to assess key EV parameters such as size and particle concentration.
In addition, zeta potential measurements were performed to gain insights into the functional integrity and biological efficacy of the EV samples.

If you would like to learn how SEC performs in comparison to ultracentrifugation, we invite you to explore the full publication and discover how ZetaView® QUATT enables reliable, high-quality, multi-parameter EV characterization.

𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮? 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗭𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄® 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀

Did you know that tea bags can release tiny particles into your cup and the evironment? Alexander Yaroslavov et al. used the 𝗭𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄® 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗧𝗧 to investigate 8 types of tea bags, revealing how synthetic ( , ) and natural ( ) materials behave under different temperatures and brewing times. The Particle Metrix NTA technology was used alongside other particle-characterization methods to analyze the released particles.

Key Findings:
· Particle size: 200 nm–1 µm, average ~600 nm
· Particle concentration increases with temperature and brewing time
· Synthetic particles remain stable, while cellulose particles are degraded by natural enzymes
· Particles show a negative surface charge, correlating with no observed cytotoxicity in Caco-2 cells
· Maximum particle concentrations: 14 × 10⁹/L (synthetic) and 170 × 10⁹/L (cellulose)

These insights help us better understand how everyday tea bags can release micro- and , an important topic in both environmental and food sciences.
