Description of the method
Dynamic light scattering can be used to accurately determine particle sizes between 1 nm and 10 µm, as well as their distribution within the sample. In addition, particle concentrations can be determined.
In addition to dynamic light scattering, it is also possible, to a certain extent, to measure static light scattering. This is mainly used to determine the average molecular weight of the polymer particles.
Application examples
- Characterisation of solutions/dispersions
- Time-resolved measurements, e.g. of protein aggregation or enzymatic processes
- Stability of dispersions
