Understanding nanoparticle size and distribution is critical across a wide range of applications - from drug delivery and gene therapy to materials science and environmental research. However, relying on a single analytical technique can sometimes provide an incomplete picture.
This webinar explores the differences in and complementary strengths of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and how combining both approaches can deliver deeper insight into nanoparticle systems.
Using both the Zetasizer and NanoSight Pro as practical examples, we will examine how these technologies measure particle size distributions in fundamentally different ways.
The session will highlight when each technique excels, the limitations researchers should be aware of, and how using both techniques together can improve confidence in experimental results.
