Get to know Nano Hybrids

Nano Hybrids is a nanotechnology start-up that develops hybrid core-shell nanoparticles to address the critical challenges of high-impact technological fields like biomedicine and gas-sensing. Spun-out of the University of Amsterdam, we are on a mission to bring nanoparticles from lab to impact. Our new synthesis method reduces the environmental impact of nanoparticle synthesis by removing the need for polluting solvents, while providing advantages in terms of versatility, cost-effectiveness, and simplicity.  

Nanoparticles are a key enabling technology for the next technological revolution. Core/shell nanoparticles, an advanced type of nanoparticles, demonstrated potential in addressing global health threats like cancer, sepsis or malaria. However, their manufacturing processes rely on lengthy solvent-based methods, lack versatility, and yield contaminated products, hindering clinical translation.

Nano Hybrids stands out from the competition with its unique properties: Their solvent-free production process leads to high-purity nanoparticles and smaller environmental impact compared to conventional methods. Additional benefits include: Ease of use increases operational efficiency and streamlines production processes; Automated production removes the need for an operator during production; Versatile nanoparticle formulation enables surface properties to be adjusted to end-user needs; Closed-system design improves safety; Advanced nanoparticle architecture (core-shell) provides added features like enhanced electrical conductivity, and further improves performances in the right use-cases.

Yes.
 
We offer flexible delivery formats depending on your application and downstream requirements. Nanoparticles are typically supplied as a dry powder, but we are happy to accommodate suspensions in a solvent of your choice (subject to compatibility and stability). If you have specific concentration, packaging, or handling requirements, please contact us to discuss these in advance.

Our characterisation services refer to the analytical techniques we use to confirm and document the physical and chemical properties of your nanoparticles. Depending on your needs, this may include particle size distribution, morphology, surface charge (zeta potential), crystallinity, composition, and stability assessments. We tailor the characterisation package to align with your research, regulatory, or product development objectives.

Pricing depends on several factors, including material type, synthesis complexity, required specifications, level of characterisation, and order volume. We understand that projects vary, so we provide tailored quotations based on your exact requirements. Please contact us with your specifications for a detailed proposal.

Minimum order quantities depend on the material and production method. We typically accommodate orders starting from 1 mg for standard formulations. For custom synthesis or highly specialised materials, a higher minimum batch size may apply.
We will clarify this during the quotation stage.

Lead times vary depending on whether the material is in stock or requires custom synthesis. In-stock materials are shipped within a few business days. Custom projects may require several weeks, depending on complexity and characterisation requirements. You will receive an estimated delivery timeline with each quotation.

Yes. While based in the Netherlands, we serve clients internationally. We regularly ship to academic institutions, research organisations, and companies across Europe and beyond. Shipping conditions and timelines also depend on destination and regulatory requirements.
