Example of dilution curves for nanorods A12N-10-1400 and flow rate 1000 μL/min. Solid lines illustrate measured dilution curves (input and output), while dashed lines depict the estimated output curves using four different models. The lagged model provides the best results in terms of fitting the shape of the curve. Results for other flow rates are in Additional file 1: Figure S1, Additional file 2: Figure S2, Additional file 3: Figure S3, Additional file 4: Figure S4, Additional file 5: Figure S5, Additional file 6: Figure S6, Additional file 7: Figure S7, Additional file 8: Figure S8
