Abstract
Sensitive and fast analytical techniques are needed to determine the concentration of nanoparticles in biological samples (e.g., blood and tissues) for biodistribution and toxicity studies. This chapter describes a method for the use of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) for the quantitation of fullerene nanoparticles in human serum matrix. Data on the fullerene-based nanoparticle carboxyfullerene (C3 fullerene) in human serum is presented as an example.
