Acoustic Spectroscopy for Nanotechnology Sector - Monitoring and Testing - Laboratory Equipment

Acoustic spectroscopy is a very simple method for sizing of nanoparticles. There are many examples published in the papers that are listed below. There is only one input parameter characterizing particles required for calculating particle size distribution at this size range – density of particles.  A big advantage of Acoustics over light-based methods is ability of characterizing broad particle size distributions, which include nano-size fractions. Our recent studies show that Acoustics could monitor presence of nanoparticles with precision of 1%. This is important for nano-ecology and nano-toxicology.
