Nanoparticles are defined by their size. In this presentation different sizing techniques are compared, with a focus on experimental tips and tricks to get maximum value from sizing techniques such as dymamic light scattering with the Malvern Zetasizer.

Some of the questions addressed will include: 

  • What are the advantages, where are the limits? 
  • Do you need an intensity or number distribution? 
  • What refractive index to choose for the particles?
