Quantitative measurements of nanoparticle concentration in liquid suspensions are in high demand, for example, in the medical and food industries. Conventional methods remain unsatisfactory, especially for polydisperse samples with overlapping size ranges. Recently, we introduced interferometric nanoparticle tracking analysis (iNTA) as a new method for high-precision measurement of nanoparticle size and refractive index. Here, we show that by counting the number of trajectories that cross the focal plane, iNTA can measure concentrations of subpopulations in a polydisperse mixture in a quantitative manner and without the need for a calibration sample. We evaluate our method on both monodisperse samples and mixtures of known concentrations. Furthermore, we assess the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in supernatant samples obtained from infected cells.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
