And therefore, if the tested sample is suitable or if unwanted agglomeration of the particles has occurred. One can see within seconds if the measured size of the dissolved nanoparticles is within expectations.

DLS allows for fast and non-invasive verification of sample quality and ensures a stable production process. It is a well-established method in many areas that focus on nanoparticles, such as colloid and polymer science, pharma and food industries, and cosmetic and paint product development. The first method applies a ‘best fit’ to the Correlation Function and the shape of that fit leads to a diffusion coefficient, an average size, and a size distribution.Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is an optical analysis method for particle sizes in solutions. To get from a Correlation Function to the stuff you really care about – data – two analysis methods are used. This is also why DLS is sometimes called photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). How quickly particles go from high correlation to zero correlation tells you their average size. Graph these correlation values for a range of jumps of different durations and you get a Correlation Function (Figure 2). Most particles will be in totally different spots – and you now have zero correlation in the data between your starting point and your jump one second later.

Now instead of a microsecond, jump forward a full second. In other words, they have a high correlation. Odds are good most particles haven’t moved around yet – so the light scattering hasn’t changed and the data from time zero and a microsecond later are about the same.

Here’s how to think about analyzing light scattering data for DLS: pick a point in time – now jump forward a microsecond. Analyzing whether light intensity is changing fast or slow – that’s the secret sauce of DLS. Vice versa for larger ones because they are slower to move around.

Since small particles zip around quickly, the intensity of light changes quickly. When the laser wavelength is much larger than the particles, you get equal amounts of light scattering in every direction – that’s why we use a 660 nm laser in our DLS systems.ĭLS can tell you a lot about the size of the particles in solution by measuring how rapidly that scattered light changes over time (Figure 1). Shine a laser on a solution of particles and you’ll get plenty of light scattering back out at you.
