The Centrifugal Differential Mobility Analyser – concept and initial validation of a new device for measuring 2D property distributions by T. N. Rüther, D. B. Rasche, D. B. Rasche, H.-J. Schmid

“…Most of the methods utilized to gain deeper insight into the morphology of nanoparticles are very time-consuming and costly or have bad statistics (such as tandem setups or TEM (transmission electron microscopy)/SEM (scanning electron microscopy) images). To overcome these disadvantages, a prototype of a new compact device, the Centrifugal Differential Mobility Analyser (CDMA), was built, which can measure the full 2D distribution of mobility-equivalent and Stokes equivalent diameters by classification in a cylinder gap through electrical and centrifugal forces. …”
