Rapid Screening of Aquatic Toxicity of Several Metal-Based Nanoparticles Using the Metplate™ Bioassay

Current understanding of potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials to aquatic microorganisms is limited for risk assessment and management. Here we evaluate if the MetPLATE™ test can be used as an effective and rapid screening tool to test for potential aquatic toxicity of various metal-based n...
