Particle size | Min. Concentration (Recommended) | Max. Concentration (Recommended) |
---|---|---|
< 10 nm | 0.5 g/l | Only limited by the sample material interaction, aggregation, gelation etc. |
10 nm to 100 nm | 0.1 mg/l | 5% mass (assuming a density of 1g/cm*) |
100 nm to 1 µm | 0.01 g/l (10–3 % mass) | 1% mass (assuming a density of 1 g/cm3) |
> 1 um | 0.1 g/l (10–2 % mass) | 1% mass (assuming a density of 1 g/cm3) |
* Table taken from the manuals for Zetasizer Pro, Ultra, and Nano ZS series. Modeled on Polystyrene Latex (1 g/cm3) and will scale proportionally with nanomaterial density.
