The NanoLab3D, designed for particle size measurement, is based on the innovative "3D Modulation Technology."
Traditional DLS instruments require high sample dilution to avoid the influence of multiple scattering, which leads to inaccurate size measurements—without even alerting the researcher to the significant margin of error!
LS Instruments’ patented 3D Modulation Technology effectively eliminates this issue: sample dilution is no longer required (see the application note in the File/Images section: "Particle Sizing in Highly Scattering Samples"). Combined with the ergonomic design of the NanoLab3D sample cell, this feature ensures highly reliable measurements.
The benefits are twofold: improved sample characterization and significant time savings.

Although Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) is a widely used technique for particle size measurement across many scientific fields, experienced users know that DLS is not error-proof. A study conducted by LS Instruments revealed that more than 80% of users make critical mistakes when using DLS instruments, often leading to significant errors—without even realizing it.
For this reason, LS Instruments developed the LsLab software, featuring an intuitive interface that guides users step by step through the DLS measurement process while providing precise information on result validity. This software, combined with the modulated 3D technology implemented in the NanoLab3D, ensures full confidence in the accuracy and reliability of LS Instruments' measurements.
