Abstract
Particle sizing of biofluids, tissue samples, and therapeutic reagents is highly relevant for biomedical and clinical applications. Traditional dynamic light scattering (DLS) instruments are limited in their capability to measure optically transparent samples and are not conducive for particle sizing in samples that exhibit rich optical scattering and absorption. Here we demonstrate a new approach that utilizes polarization-dependent attributes of laser speckle to measure particle sizes in biosamples that span a range of optical scattering and absorption properties. We further apply this technique for particle sizing in homogenous controls, as well as biofluids such as platelet rich plasma and whole blood.
