Introduction to Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

Dr. Jeff Bodycomb introduces dynamic light scattering (DLS) a popular technique that features fast, repeatable, and accurate size determination for nanoparticles and large molecules such as proteins and polymers. It is used in fields ranging from latex particle manufacturing to advanced drug formulation. Here Jeff introduces and reviews the technique while also discussing method development, application results, data interpretation, and comparison with other nanoparticle analysis techniques.

• What is DLS?
• How does it work?
• When does it work (when to use and avoid)?
• How to make it work (method development)?
• How to read and understand the results
