Analysis of nanomaterial uptake. Nanomaterial uptake by (a) 3T3, (b) hT, and (c) RAW cells. Unexposed cells were scanned to establish normal cell population. Cells exposed to nanoparticles for 3 hrs were detached from well plates and analyzed for forward scatter vs. side scatter to determine nanoparticle uptake. In the case of nanomaterial exposed cells, nanomaterial uptake/surface adsorption is reflected by increases in the side scatter of cell populations.
