The dls instrument is easy to use and helpful for surface charge studies
Application Area:Nanoparticle size analysis
"The Zetasizer Nano instrument is a highly versatile and efficient tool that has revolutionized the way surface charge studies of metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles are conducted. It is an easy-to-use instrument that has a user-friendly interface and provides a dts file for quick data transfer, saving a lot of time for researchers. The results obtained from the instrument are reproducible when the particles are well dispersed, making it a reliable tool for conducting these studies. With regards to the slightly slow data analysis time, it is still within acceptable limits and does not take away from the overall efficiency of the instrument. I would rate this product a 9 out of 10, given its excellent value for money. It provides an affordable solution for conducting these types of studies, without compromising on quality. In addition, the sales care provided by the company is also very good, with knowledgeable and friendly representatives who are always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. In conclusion, the dls instrument is a must-have tool for researchers in the field of surface charge studies of metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles. It offers an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution for these types of studies, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to conduct similar research. The company's excellent sales care only adds to the appeal of the product, making it an overall excellent choice for researchers in this field."

Useful for routine before TEM.
Application Area:Nanoparticles
"Is a piece of good equipment for comparing several stages of functionalization from the same sample but not for a single one. Factors such as hydrodynamic diameter, multiple dispersion, and mathematics assuming spheres... lead to that size in zetasizer is sometimes far away from the real size. Zeta potential measurements are more interesting than size. Is easy to use."

Great.
Application Area:Size distribution and zeta potential of nanoparticles
"It is easy to use, but samples need dilution before tests, which makes the zeta potential less accurate. It depends on the sample preparation, so tests results can be quite different."
Manufacturer's ResponseThank you for the positive review. As for Zeta measurements, it’s better if you can dilute your samples in the continuous phase (if possible obtain a clean continuous phase by centrifugation and/or filtering). If that is not possible then use an analogue of the continuous phase and keep it consistent between samples of the same type. All the best – Malvern Panalytical.

The Zetasizer Ultra is this products successor.
The Zetasizer Nano ZS is used for the measurement of the size, electrophoretic mobility of proteins, zeta potential of colloids and nanoparticles, and optionally the measurement of protein mobility and microrheology of protein and polymer solutions.
The Zetasizer Nano ZS is a high-performance two-angle particle and molecular size analyzer for the enhanced detection of aggregates and measurement of small or dilute samples, and samples at very low or high concentration using dynamic light scattering with ‘NIBS’ optics. The ZSP also incorporates a zeta potential analyzer that uses electrophoretic light scattering for particles, molecules and surfaces, and a molecular weight analyzer using static light scattering.
In addition, a microrheology option is available for measuring sample viscosity and viscoelastic properties, as well as a Protein Measurement option for protein mobility measurements.
