How much can we tell about this particle dispersion?

Can we retrieve many parameters of the particles in one single experiment?

Hi there, my name is Paola and I'm aiming to answer this question at Collaborative Research

Center 1411.

We use analytical ultracentrifugation to couple the hydrodynamic and optical features of a

particle system.

In an analytical ultracentrifugation experiment, the particles sediment according to their

size, density and shape.

With our custom-made multi-wavelength detector, we can also record how the system changes

with time and get even more information on the particles we are studying.

After processing the data, we calculate the nanoparticles optical spectra and trace it

back to the system.

So yes, in a single experiment, we can retrieve particle sizes and chemical composition.
