N1 - Funding Information:
Acknowledgments TCD would like to thank the partial funding support from CAN project (European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales Programme 2007–2013). INTERREG 4A; NAMDIATREAM project (FP7 LSP ref 246479) and MULTIFUN project (FP7 LSP ref 262493). TCD would also like to thank Yuri Volkov for the technical support and critical discussion provided during the Quality Nano RR. Empa would like to thank the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) for the funding under Grant Agreement No. 263215 (Marina) and the Competence Centre for Materials Science and Technology Foundation (CCMX) of the Swiss Government (VIGO-Grant Agreement No. 350601). The contribution of the Centre de Recherche Public—Gabriel Lippmann (AG) was in part made possible within NanEAU II (FNR/10/SR/825684—Fonds National de la Recherche Luxembourg). BfR would like to thank Nils Dommershausen for excellent technical support. All authors would like to thank the European Union for QNano (QualityNano)—A pan-European infrastructure for quality in nanomaterials safety testing, FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2010-1 (Grant Agreement No. 262163).

N2 - One of the key challenges in the field of nanoparticle (NP) analysis is in producing reliable and reproducible characterisation data for nanomaterials. This study looks at the reproducibility using a relatively new, but rapidly adopted, technique, Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) on a range of particle sizes and materials in several different media. It describes the protocol development and presents both the data and analysis of results obtained from 12 laboratories, mostly based in Europe, who are primarily QualityNano members. QualityNano is an EU FP7 funded Research Infrastructure that integrates 28 European analytical and experimental facilities in nanotechnology, medicine and natural sciences with the goal of developing and implementing best practice and quality in all aspects of nanosafety assessment. This study looks at both the development of the protocol and how this leads to highly reproducible results amongst participants. In this study, the parameter being measured is the modal particle size.
