Automated, high-precision liposome zeta potential measurements at high and low salt concentrations

18 Feb 2026

Zeta potential is used as a key metric for colloidal suspension stability for a wide range of applications. However, the general usefulness of zeta potential measurements has been held back by instruments limited to time-consuming, low-precision measurements within a narrow and often unsuitable ionic strength range.

In this application note, Wyatt Technology demonstrates how the DynaPro™ ZetaStar™ instrument allows scientists to go beyond these limitations, delivering automated measurements of biomolecule and nanoparticle zeta potential, size, and polydispersity at both low and high ionic strengths with excellent precision and accuracy.

DynaPro™ Zetastar™ Dynamic, Electrophoretic, and Static Light Scattering Detector

Waters | Wyatt Technology

Unique among its peers, the DynaPro™ Zetastar™ performs simultaneous dynamic and static light scattering or dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering (DLS/SLS/ELS) measurements all within one instrument. Measure manually with microcuvettes, or automatically via an autosampler and flow cell. Quickly assess size, polydispersity, zeta potential, charge, particle concentration, molar mass or turbidity for characterization and stability studies.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
