RINTek provides services of two primary types: toxicological research and analysis of engineered nanoparticles; and several types of educational services. The former include molecular modeling and laboratory analysis to assess toxic effects of nanoparticle-based products and processes. The latter include services to the community at large and to K-12 and post-secondary schools through programs, materials, forums, speakers, and technical resources. These services are part of the National Nanotechnology Initiative goals. RINTek intends to help raise awareness of problems and solutions relating to the impact of nanotechnology on education, jobs, health, and the environment.
