Dynamic light scattering provides fast, accurate and repeatable nanoparticle size information and therefore is an important tool for the nanoparticle technologist. Here, two different size silica particles are characterized with the SZ-100 in order to demonstrate the accuracy and utility of the instrument. Figure 1: SZ-100 Nanoparticle Size Analyzer.
