Dissolving iron-nickel, silver-tin, and copper-zinc nanopowders

How can I dissolve iron-nickel, silver-tin, and copper-zinc nanopowders to treat biological samples and also characterize them?

I've purchased metal alloy nanpowders to treat cancer cells but I did not find any solvent to solve them. I am also having trouble characterizing them, can anybody help?

    You should use the term "dispersion", instead of "dissolving". By this term (Protocol + Dispersion + nanoparticles + biological media), You can search in the scientific databases and find some papers.

    Dear Nilufer,
    an alternative to re-dispersing powders (which are always agglomerated) would be the direct generation of dispersed nanoparticles in the liquid solvent. If you have access to plates or foils from iron-nickel, silver-tin, and copper-zinc, these can be used to generate nanoparticles by laser ablation in liquids - without toxic stabilizers.
    This is offered by Particular GmbH in Germany:
