Multi-Angle Dynamic Light Scattering (MADLS) in Resolving Multicomponent Nanoparticle Dispersions

Over the last two decades, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) has been a staple for particle size screening, established to be fast, non-invasive and an excellent tool for measuring particle size distribution (PDI) and the polydispersity index (PdI). Inherently however, DLS is a lower resolution technique that does have its constraints in resolving nanoparticles with multiple components or size populations lower than 3:1 degrees apart.

Understanding Solvents in Chromatography Systems 

Chromatography is a technique used to separate and analyze complex mixtures of compounds. The separation process depends on the different affinities of the compounds for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The stationary phase is usually a solid or a liquid coating on a solid support, while the mobile phase is usually a liquid or a gas.

The Growing Threat of Microplastics and How Manufacturers Can Make Their Products Safer 

Microplastics are extremely small pieces of plastic particles measuring up to five millimeters in size. Present in commercial product development and the breakdown of larger plastics, they include one or a combination of the following polymers: polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate.

Major Applications of Nanoparticles in the Food Industry

Before we zoom into nanoparticle applications, let us first clarify what nanotechnology is. Nanotechnology involves the development, characterization and application of materials with length scale typically between one and 100 nanometers. To illustrate, one nanometer is about 60,000 times smaller than a human hair in diameter.
