Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)

  • Dynamic light scattering, photon correlation spectroscopy, or quasi-elastic light scattering are primarily used to measure the Brownian motion of macromolecules in solution. This motion occurs due to the bombardment from solvent molecules and is related to the particles' size. The movement of macromolecules is influenced by their size, temperature, and solvent viscosity. Precise temperature control is crucial for accurate DLS measurements, as the solvent's viscosity varies with temperature.
