influence the aggregate distribution in the measurement cell. It also gives the
possibility of live monitoring heat-induced aggregation, providing informa-
tion about the aggregation kinetics. In NTA measurement method, sample
concentration and parameters (shutter, gain, duration, and threshold) settings
in video capture and video analysis are important factors, which might have a
significant effect on the accuracy and reliability of final results.
