Quantification of Carbon Nanotube Doses in Adherent Cell Culture Assays Using UV-VIS-NIR Spectroscopy
Abstract
The overt hazard of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is often assessed using in vitro methods, but determining a dose–response relationship is still a challenge due to the analytical difficulty of quantifying the dose delivered to cells. An approach to accurately quantify CNT doses for submerged in vitro adherent cell culture systems using UV-VIS-near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is provided here. Two types of multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs), Mitsui-7 and Nanocyl, which are dispersed in protein rich cell culture media, are studied as tested materials. Post 48 h of CNT incubation, the cellular fractions are subjected to microwave-assisted acid digestion/oxidation treatment, which eliminates biological matrix interference and improves CNT colloidal stability. The retrieved oxidized CNTs are analyzed and quantified using UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. In vitro imaging and quantification data in the presence of human lung epithelial cells (A549) confirm that up to 85% of Mitsui-7 and 48% for Nanocyl sediment interact (either through internalization or adherence) with cells during the 48 h of incubation. This finding is further confirmed using a sedimentation approach to estimate the delivered dose by measuring the depletion profile of the CNTs.
