AZO Webinar | Single Particle Optical Sizing - Solving Unique Particle Sizing Application Challenges

RECORDED WEBINAR

Among the various particle size and count analytical techniques, single particle optical sizing (SPOS) is uniquely suited to address a range of application requirements. Since individual particles are counted and sized, the results are expressed in particles/mL with high accuracy and resolution. These results are especially helpful for quantifying the “tails of distributions” both on the coarse and fine ends of the distribution. This is helpful in a range of applications, including emulsion stability, inks, specialty chemicals, and large particle counts in CMP slurries.

This webinar will cover a range of topics, including:

• Theory of SPOS
• Contamination counting vs. particle size distribution analysis
• Concentration limits and dilution methods
• Mean size vs. tails of distributions
• Emulsion stability
