18. For the sample characterisation and quality control of CNTs an extensive protocol was compiled by the consortium of the EU-project SPANG. It is hoped that by applying this protocol reproducible results will be obtained at different laboratories. To facilitate cooperation with other consortia and quite generally with colleagues worldwide, the protocol is also spread outside the EU project SPANG. The protocol is regularly updated. We appreciate any interest for the protocol and any feedback from colleagues working in the field
