Particle Characterisation
Particle Characterisation
Particle characterisation is the process of measuring and analysing the physical properties of particles, such as size, shape, surface area, porosity, density, and chemical composition. These properties can affect the behaviour and performance of particles in various applications, such as drug delivery, catalysis, nanotechnology, and environmental engineering. Particle characterisation techniques include microscopy, spectroscopy, light scattering, sedimentation, and thermal analysis.

Nanosizer (Dynamic Light Scattering), Malvern Zetasizer
Description
Malvern Zetasizer offers particle size, particle charge (zeta potential) and molecular weight analysis.
Related Information
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a non-invasive, well-established technique for measuring the size and size distribution of molecules and particles ranges from 0.3nm-10um. This instrument also measures zetapotential of particles (size range: 3.8nm-100um) and molecoular weights.
