PCCS has several advantages:
- With PCCS the multiple scattering is completely eliminated. Thus, PCCS extends the evaluation method of PCS to opaque suspensions and emulsions of high concentrations.
- Higher particle concentrations lead to higher count rates and shorter measuring times.
- In addition, the amplitude of the cross-correlation function represents the amount of single scattered light. This extremely sensitive information is used for the analysis of sample stability.
- As multiple scattering is eliminated, the results are usually independent of concentration. Now, changes with increasing concentration can be investigated directly with a dilution series as any contribution of multiple scattering is avoided. If concentration is too high only multiple scattered light remains and the system automatically indicates the application boundaries.
- The results are independent of the measuring volume position within the sample vial. The measuring volume position can be varied in order to optimise count rates and realise shortest measuring times.
- High particle concentrations reduce the sensitivity of this method to pollutions. Standard liquids in a regular laboratory environment can be used.
- The PCCS set-up can be simply switched into the PCS mode, using one detector only calculating the auto-correlation function. Other PCS-based measurements can now be compared directly to the NANOPHOX results in PCS mode.
