Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

Characterization

Brand

Anton Paar Litesizer 500

Particle size range

0.3 nm to 10 μm

Typical sample volume / concentration

1 mL / 0.1 %

Temperature range

0 to 90 °C

Cuvettes

Polystyrene or quartz

Output

Particle or droplet size distribution

DLS is a technique used to determine the size of particles dispersed in a liquid or the size of droplets in an emulsion. The particle or droplet size distribution is measured with an Anton Paar Litesizer 500. The dispersion or emulsion is first diluted with the liquid in which the particles are dispersed to the appropriate concentration before it is transferred to the cuvette for the measurement.
