The acceptable range for PDI varies depending on the application and type of nanoparticles:
- Monodisperse Systems: PDI biosensing. - Moderate Disperse Systems: PDI between 0.1 and 0.2. Suitable for many biomedical applications where slight variability is acceptable. - Polydisperse Systems: PDI > 0.2. These are less uniform and might be used in applications where exact size control is less critical.
