This compact DLS instrument for particle sizing is based on the groundbreaking 3D modulation technology.
Traditional DLS instruments require high dilution of samples to avoid adverse influence of multiply scattered light which results in false particles size measurements, without ever warning you that the results have a huge error!
LS Instruments patented 3D modulation technology efficiently suppresses multiple light scattering and therefore sample dilution is no longer required for most samples (see application note on "Particle Sizing in Highly Scattering Samples"). Combined with the ergonomic sample chamber design of the NanoLab 3D this allows a high through-put of measurements. Not only will it improve your sample characterization, but also save you precious time.

While Dynamic Light Scattering is a widely used particle sizing technology in many fields of science today, many users are not aware that DLS measurements are not fool-safe. A survey conducted by LS Instruments revealed that more than 80% of the users were making critical mistakes when using DLS based instruments. This often resulted in significant errors the users were totally unaware of.
For this reason LS developed the LsLab Software with an intuitive interface that guides the user step-by-step through a DLS measurement and gives precise information on the validity of the results. Combined with the modulated 3D technology that is implemented in the NanoLab 3D you now have every reason to trust your results.
