Integral and differential turbidity ratio methods applied to the analysis of changes in the size and number of scatterers

Summary

Integral (ITR) and differential (DTR) turbidity ratio methods are shown to be simple and efficient techniques suitable for estimation of the size and number of scatterers in the static and dynamic systems, mainly during processes consisting in the formation or disappearance of a single component in a complex macromolecular or colloid system. The DTR method exceeds the ITR method in the resolving power and reliability; however, their combination seems to be the optimal approach.
