Results that were obtained in the course of the development of techniques for use in the measurement of the dimensions, numerical concentrations, element composition, and degree of aggregation of nanoparticles in aqueous and saline solutions and biological fluids (whole blood and plasma) as well as in the determination of the efficiency of the penetration of nanoparticles through biological barriers are set forth. The results were obtained through the use of methods of atomic absorption spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, absorption spectrophotometry, and resonance light scattering spectroscopy.
