Unmatched visualization and measurement of nanoparticles
2 Nov 2020Analyzing nanoparticles such as colloids and proteins is inherently challenging. These particles are too small to image with visible light and must be imaged by laborious electron or scanning microscopy. Dynamic light scattering and laser diffraction have been successfully used to determine particle size and size distribution. These techniques are fast and accurate for certain samples, however, as they are ensemble techniques, high resolution distribution information cannot be obtained.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
