Zetasizer Nano Series/(DLS)

Model: Nano ZSP

Brief Introduction of the Instrument:

ZETASIZER NANO SERIES Research Performance, Operational Simplicity, Application Versatility For colloid, nanoparticle and macromolecule characterization, our customers tell us that the Zetasizer Nano instruments are the most user-friendly systems available. As well as this ease of use, the performance and confidence in the results is validated by the fact that 94 of the World’s top 100 universities have invested in a Malvern Zetasizer Nano*. From the top of the range Zetasizer systems incorporating Non-Invasive Backscatter (NIBS) optics, to the affordable 90 degree scattering systems, there is a Zetasizer suitable for every laboratory involved in the characterization of nanoparticles, colloidal dispersions, polymer and protein solutions.

Zeta potential range:> +/-500mV
Mobility range:> +/- 20 μ.cm/V.s
Maximum sample concentration: 40% w/v*
Minimum sample volume: 5ml
Salt Concentration (NaCl): 0.1mM – 10mM
Size:Min sample volume: 5ml
Range (Maxi. dia.) : 0.3nm – 10 microns
Min concentration: 1mg/mL

Sample : Dilute concentration of sample: 0.1-10 mg/ml

Application of the Instrument:

Size of particles
Zeta potential of particles

Limitation of the Instrument:

  1. Sample should not be very concentrated.
  2. It is not suitable for solids, powders, films.
  3. No volatile sample
  4. DLS techniques assume that particles are spherical and uniformly distributed. If the samples have irregular shapes or exhibit different morphologies, the accuracy of the size measurement may be affected.
