Now that we see why biologics are so important,
and have gotten a taste of how DLS can help with
stability monitoring, let's get into the science that
drives it. DLS is a robust technique that gives you a
lot of information about your biological candidates
through all stages of your project workflow. It is
considered to be a non-destructive and non-invasive
measurement because it does not transfer energy
to the sample and therefore does not alter the
measurement. It's important to understand where
the information comes from, and how the physical
phenomena of scattered light can be transformed
into valuable data for your work.
Let's start with the theory behind DLS to give the
basics of how light scattering works.
