Brief description:A dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument is a high-precision tool used to measure particle size. DLS technology works by shining a laser on a sample. When the laser passes through a medium containing suspended particles, the particles scatter the light. Because the particles move randomly in the solution (Brownian motion), the intensity of the scattered light changes over time. These changes contain information about the particle size and diffusion coefficient, and by analyzing the fluctuations in the scattered light with a correlator, the particle size can be calculated.
Industry Applications:Particle size analysis of polymers, emulsions, etc.
