Nanosize Particle Analysis by Dynamic light scattering (DLS) by Dynamic light scattering (DLS) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0548-WXH)
Introduction
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is used for measuring average particle diameter and particle diameter distribution of nano-sized particles dispersed in liquid. The parameters are important characteristics mainly for drug delivery system (DDS) formulations, such as solid in oil (S/O) formulations, liposome formulations, suspension formulations, and emulsion formulations.
Principle
Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is an established and precise measurement technique for characterizing particle sizes in suspensions and emulsions. It is based on the Brownian motion of particles - this states that smaller particles move faster, while larger ones move slower in a liquid. The light scattered by particles contains information on the diffusion speed and thus on the size distribution.
The Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technique measures motion optically by recording the scattered light signal at a fixed angle. The particles are illuminated with a monochromatic, coherent light source (laser) and the light scattered by the particles is recorded.
