Abstract

Background: Nanosizing is widely recognized as an effective technique for improving the solubility, dissolution rate, onset of action, and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. To control the execution and behavior of the output product, more advanced and valuable analytical techniques are required.

Objective: The primary intent of this review manuscript was to furnish the understanding of imaging and non-imaging techniques related to nanosizing analysis by focusing on related patents. In addition, the study also aimed to collect and illustrate the information on various classical (laser diffractometry, photon correlation spectroscopy, zeta potential, laser Doppler electrophoresis, X-ray diffractometry, differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy), new, and advanced analytical techniques (improved dynamic light scattering method, Brunauer-Emmett- Teller method, ultrasonic attenuation, biosensor), as well as commercial techniques, like inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, aerodynamic particle sizer, scanning mobility particle sizer, and matrix- assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectroscopy, which all relate to nano-sized particles.

Methods: The present manuscript has taken a fresh look at the various aspects of the analytical techniques utilized in the process of nanosizing, and has achieved this through the analysis of a wide range of peer-reviewed literature. All summarized literature studies provide the information that can meet the basic needs of nanotechnology.

Results: A variety of analytical techniques related to the nanosizing process have already been established and have great potential to weed out several issues. However, the current scenarios require more relevant, accurate, and advanced analytical techniques that can minimize the time and deviations associated with different instrumental and process parameters. To meet this requirement, some new and more advanced analytical techniques have recently been discovered, like ultrasonic attenuation technique, BET technique, biosensors, etc.

Conclusion: The present overview certifies the significance of different analytical techniques utilized in the nanosizing process. The overview also provides information on various patents related to sophisticated analytical tools that can meet the needs of such an advanced field. The data show that the nanotechnology field will flourish in the coming future.

Keywords: Imaging techniques, non-imaging techniques, nanosizing, characterization techniques, analytical techniques, nano-size.
