## Notice

The Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) provided by Malvern and the new NS300 utilizes the properties of both light scattering and Brownian motion in order to obtain the nanoparticle size distribution of samples in liquid suspension. This is unique and there are no other manufacturers that makes an equivalent platform that can operate across all the liquid sample matrices and with all the particle types we require across our project and science portfolio.
