Malvern Zetasizer Nano

Zetasizer Nano series for Particle Size, Zeta Potential, and Molecular Weight Measurement
Features:
  • Technology allows measurements of samples with little or no dilution
  • Uses a unique disposable zeta potential cell to ensure no cross contamination of samples
  • Can analyze liquid and powder suspensions
  • Particle size reported on intensity and volume basis
  • Zeta Potential in aqueous and non-aqueous fluids
Applications:
  • Particle Size - measurements of particle size from 0.6nm - 6µm
  • Zeta Potential - measurements 3nm - 10µm
Recommendations for Optimal Output:
  • Viscosity of carrier fluid at desired analytical temperature
  • Dielectric constant of carrier fluid (applicable for Zeta Potential)
  • Refractive Index and imaginary number if available
  • Recommended amount of sample needed: 100 mg (dry sample) 20 mL (wet sample)
 

Microtrac UPA 150

Features:
  • Analytical range: approx 3nm - 6µm
