  • Publication number: 20250146921
    Abstract: A particle characterisation instrument is disclosed, comprising: a sample cell, for holding a sample comprising particles suspended in diluent fluid; a light source configured to illuminate the sample with a light beam, thereby producing scattered light from the interaction of the light beam with the particles; a light detector, configured to detect the scattered light and to output scattering data indicative of the diffusion coefficient of the particles in the diluent; a processor, configured to determine a property of the particles from the scattering data; and a temperature sensor, in conductive thermal contact with a wall of the sample cell and at a distance of less than 5 mm from the sample. The processor configured to use the output of the temperature sensor in determining the property of the particles such that the property of the particles determined by the processor is responsive to an output from the temperature sensor.
