Technical Specification

• Accurate, reliable and repeatable particle size analysis in one or two minutes.
• Measurement in the native environment of the material.
• Mean size only requires knowledge of the viscosity of the liquid.
• Simple or no sample preparation, high concentration, turbid samples can be measured.
• Simple set up and fully automated measurement.
• Size measurement of sizes < 1nm
• Size measurement of molecules with MW < 1000Da
• Low volume requirement (as little as 121L)
• Temperature dependent measurement range : 4 deg-90 deg

Applications of Dynamic Light Scattering

Typical applications of Dynamic Light Scattering are the measurement of the size and size distribution of particles emulsions and molecules dispersed or dissolved in a liquid. e.g.: Proteins, polymers, micelles, carbohydrates, nanoparticles, colloidal dispersions, emulsions, ions.
