Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) is an analytical method that has so far mainly been utilized to determine the diffusion coefficient of small molecules, and proteins. Due to increasing interest in nanoscience, some research has been done on the applicability of TDA towards characterizing nanoparticles. This work aims to expand this knowledge and give insight into the range for which TDA can be used for nanoparticle characterization, focusing on various materials and sizes. The TDA setup shown in this work was successful in characterizing all engineered metallic, non-metallic nanoparticles, and proteins tested in this work. Results were compared to dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy, and were in good agreement with both methods. Taking into consideration the wide range of nanoparticle sizes that can be characterized, the minimal sample preparation, and sample volume, required and the simplicity of the method, TDA can be considered as a valuable technique for nanoparticle characterization.
