Nanoparticle collision electrochemistry involving electrochemical study of nanoparticle impacts with microelectrodes is a rapidly growing field that provides extensive capabilities for detection and characterization of nanoparticles. The method can provide mechanistic information regarding the fundamental surface properties and reactivity of nanoparticles, and can be used to quantify the interaction of labeled nanoparticles with target molecules, enabling the development of ultrasensitive analytical methodologies for detection and quantification of clinical or environmental targets. This presentation will describe development of an electrochemical nano-impact technique for evaluating fundamental nanoscale properties; assess surface coatings, bio-functionalization and reactivity of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. Potential advantages and limitations of this approach as a complementary tool for the routine study of nanoparticles, and as an analytical method for biological and material science will also be discussed.<br/>
