Nile Red staining for nanoplastic quantification: Overcoming the challenge of false positive counts due to fluorescent aggregates
The true extent of plastic particle pollution is largely unknown, particularly for particles <1 µm (nanoplastics), as they are difficult to detect. Here, we expand the Nile Red (NR) staining approach often used to visualize microplastics to the quantification of nanoplastics. Using NR staining fo...
