Latices Overview - Troubleshooting using latices and QAS

When should we use a latex and when should we use a Quality Audit Standard to check our instruments?

Because the Quality Audit Standard is a sample with a broad distribution, it will check the performance of the sample dispersion unit as well as the sizer. Because latices have very narrow size distributions, the results that are obtained will not be affected by differences in sample dispersion units but will be very sensitive to differences in the performance of the optics. This means that the two types of material can be used together to home in on the cause of any loss of integrity in the complete system as shown in the diagram below:
