This study introduces a histogram method using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) to determine particle polydispersity. FCS offers comparable efficiency to photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) but excels with small particles and dilute solutions.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Physical Chemistry
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Determining particle and molecular polydispersity in solution is crucial for understanding material properties.
  • Traditional methods like photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) have limitations, especially for small particles and dilute solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a histogram-based method for assessing polydispersity using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) data.
  • To compare the effectiveness of FCS with existing techniques like PCS.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the histogram method to fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) data.
  • Utilizing imposed regularization and constraint conditions to address the ill-posed nature of polydispersity determination.

  • Testing the method on simulated and real FCS data.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed histogram method successfully determines polydispersity from FCS data.
    • FCS demonstrates comparable efficiency to PCS for polydispersity determination.
    • FCS shows superior sensitivity for particles <50 nm and enhanced selectivity in dilute solutions.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a viable and effective technique for determining particle and molecular polydispersity.
    • FCS offers significant advantages in sensitivity and selectivity for small particles and dilute systems.
    • The findings support the utility of FCS in fields like environmental chemistry.
