# European research on magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications: standardisation aspects

## TL;DR

This paper reviews European research on magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical use, emphasizing the need for standardized measurement procedures and summarizing ongoing efforts and survey results in the field.

## Contribution

It highlights the lack of standardized procedures for magnetic property measurement and reviews European research and standardization initiatives in this area.

## Key findings

- European research projects on magnetic nanoparticles
- Ongoing standardization efforts by ISO
- Survey results from European researchers

## Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles have many applications in biomedicine and other technical areas. Despite their huge economic impact, there are no standardised procedures available to measure their basic magnetic properties. The International Organization for Standardization is working on a series of documents on the definition of characteristics of magnetic nanomaterials. We review previous and ongoing European research projects on characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles and present results of an online survey among European researchers.
