Description
The product is an analyser designed to measure a wide range of sample types and concentrations. It is used for the measurement of size, molecular weight and zeta potential of dispersed particles and molecules. The system includes a maximum 10mW He-Ne laser (633nm) with a high sensitivity APD detector. The size and molecular weight by DLS/SLS is measured at 173-degrees using non-invasive back scatter optical design. Unique adaptive correlation is used for faster, reproducible, DLS measurements with no data loss. Zeta potential analysis incorporates M3-PALS and Constant Current Zeta Mode. It also includes ZS Xplorer application software for measurement control and data analysis, with advanced data quality assessment and advice system. It is used in a laboratory and delivers a wide range of sample concentration and particle size measurement capabilities. Specifications of this product include:- ELS with M3-PALS constant current zeta mode. Static light scattering (173') Size range: diameter: 3.8 nm - 10 um, minimum volume 12ul, size range: diameter: 3.8 nm - 100 um, minimum volume 20 ul.
