Estimated particle diameter (nm) | Measured particle diameter (nm)a | ζ-potential (mV)b | Polydispersity index |
---|---|---|---|
70 | 71.5 ± 0.2 | -6.7 ± 0.4 | 0.18 |
200 | 224.0 ± 1.7 | -3.4 ± 0.2 | 0.03 |
700 | 682.4 ± 4.2 | -3.2 ± 0.3 | 0.04 |
a Diameter (number mean) measured via dynamic light scattering. Data represents the average of 3 independent measurements ± SEM, with n ≥ 100 particles per measurement.
b Measured at 25°C in 15× diluted PBS (10mM NaCl; pH 7.4). Data represents the average of 3 independent measurements ± SEM, with n ≥ 100 particles per measurement.
