Using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) to Analyze Virus Particles
Using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) to Analyze Virus Particles Conventional visual techniques of detecting virus particles in solution provide a glimpse of an extremely small sampling volume, while the method of particle analysis employing dynamic light scattering generates an ensemble average of particles inside the solutions. Virus particles incubated in the laboratory pose an issue, as they need to be grown inside cells in a media containing albumin and additional small proteins, like those inside Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) or Minimum Essential Media (MEM) solutions. When virus particles a...
