October DelsaNano Users Meeting and Workshop was Huge Success
CNS
hosted an informative event October 3rd showcasing its dynamic light scattering (DLS)
instrument from Beckman Coulter, the DelsaNano C. DLS is also known as photon
correlation spectroscopy (PCS). DelsaNano can measure sizes of particles (0.6nm
to 7um) as well as their zeta potential. The technique determines particle sizes
by measuring the rate of fluctuations in laser light intensity scattered by
particles as they diffuse through a fluid. Two representatives from Beckman Coulter gave presentations, answered questions, and performed live demos. Look for a repeat workshop in spring.
