Dynamic Light Scattering

DLS
dls info

APPLICATIONS

  • Measure particle size / size distribution in liquids

LIMITATIONS

  • Sample with low particle concentration and large size distribution can’t give accurate results
  • Light scattering is very sensitive to larger particles, pre-filtration sometimes is required
