You showed us that the Nanosight can measure the number distribution of particles in a solvent. Can the Nanosight also measure the concentration (particles per L) and how does this work?

The NanoSight technique counts all of the particles within the field of view. This field of view has a fixed volume of 120 μm x 80μm x 10μm or 9.6 × 10-11 litres. The particle count within this fixed volume is then extrapolated to give a particle per ml concentration.
