While SMPS instruments are powerful tools, they also have certain limitations:
- Complexity: The setup and operation of SMPS systems can be complex, requiring specialized knowledge and training. - Cost: High-resolution SMPS instruments can be expensive, limiting their accessibility for some research groups. - Sample Preparation: Proper sample preparation is critical for accurate measurements, and improper handling can lead to erroneous results. - Range Limitation: Although SMPS instruments cover a wide size range, they may not be suitable for measuring particles outside their specified range.
