See how we make every particle count
Spectradyne Particle Analysis produces groundbreaking technology for nanoparticle research. Spectradyne’s instruments use patented microfluidic cartridge technology to detect and measure every particle in your formulation. We have developed a unique implementation of microfluidic resistive pulse sensing (MRPS), which uses electrical sensing to measure the diameter of each particle as it passes through a nanoconstriction, providing real-time sizing and concentration information. With our MRPS technology combined with excitation and collections optics in our ARC Particle Analyzer, fluorescent subpopulations can simultaneously be accurately quantified along with accurate size and concentration.

Head-to-head comparison
Resolving what DLS and NTA cannot
Polydisperse polystyrene sample containing four populations at 52, 94, 122, and 150 nm. MRPS resolves every population with absolute concentration. NTA misses the smallest particles. DLS reports a single broadened peak with no concentration data.
NTA detection falls off as D⁶, causing smaller particles to be missed and creating a false peak in the reported distribution. DLS averages across all particles, dominated by the largest. MRPS measures each particle individually using electrical sensing.

| Method | 52 nm | 94 nm | 122 nm | 150 nm | Absolute concentration | Resolves polydisperse mixtures |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MRPS (Spectradyne) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Yes | Yes — all four peaks resolved |
| NTA | ✗ | Partial | ✓ | ✓ | Relative only | No — false peak cutoff below ~90 nm |
| DLS | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | No | No — single broadened peak, D⁶ dominated |
