Hi Liang,

if you are sure in prior that the aggregated particles did not aggregate
due to some size-related properties and given that you have enough
discrete particles that you can really distinguish from e.g. aggregates
of two or three single particles, I do not see an argument against
avoiding the aggregated.

Best regards,
Stephan
