title: Characterization of graphene oxide by flow cytometry and assessment of its cellular toxicity.
abstract: Because of its unique physicochemical properties, graphene oxide (GO) has found significant applications in a wide spectrum of biomedical utilities. In the present report, we have presented flow cytometry as an alternative tool for analysis of size distribution and intrinsic fluorescence of GO sheets, its interaction with cells and cytotoxicity evaluations.
