The Minimum Information on Nanoparticle Characterization (MINChar) initiative aims to raise the quality of research surrounding the potential toxicity of nanomaterials, by supporting appropriate materials characterization. Growing out of a workshop held in Washington DC in October 2008, it provides a forum for researchers and others involved in assessing the hazards of engineered nanomaterials to exchange information and share ideas on ensuring materials are characterized in a way that allows informed interpretation of data, and cross-comparison of results.
The key material characterization recommendations arising from the 2008 workshop can be found here.
