Can any vessel or moving liquid be measured without a setup review?
No. The probe must be used in a compatible arrangement. Vessel access, sample movement and the intended measurement conditions need to be assessed for the application.
Discuss the sample container, liquid properties and quantity together. The convenience of a probe does not remove the need for a suitable background, clean measurement interface or controlled dispersion. Confirm the particular NANOTRAC model and options instead of assuming that every probe arrangement has identical functions.
Planning dynamic light scattering
Define the dispersion and the required reporting basis before comparing nanoparticle-size results. Sample handling can change the dispersion that the instrument receives. Keep the liquid conditions and measurement arrangement with the data, and distinguish diffusion-related size from a geometric dimension obtained by another technique.

Questions before selecting a configuration
How can Glen Mills help with this application?
Share sample vessel, interface condition, system selection when you contact Glen Mills for further information or a quote. This helps focus the discussion on the preparation and evaluation described here.
How should a measurement result be assessed?
Use the size definition, distribution basis and acceptance criteria required by your measurement method. Discuss particle measurement with Glen Mills when a representative trial is needed to evaluate the configuration.
