Description
This product is used for the the measurement of particle and molecular size, weight and zeta potential of dispersed particles and molecules. The system includes a maximum 4mW HeNe laser (633nm) with high sensitivity APD detector. The size/molecular weight by DLS/SLS is measured at 173-degrees using non-invasive back scatter. 90-degree DLS/SLS measurements are also possible. The product has unique adaptive correlation for faster, reproducible, DLS measurements with no data loss. It also incorporates multi-angle dynamic Light Scattering measurements for higher resolution DLS analysis of samples <500nm. Zeta potential analysis incorporates M3-PALS and constant current Zeta Mode for measurement of zeta potential distributions and improved data quality in conductive media. Includes ZS Xplorer applicaton software with its easy to use method builder for measurement control and data analysis with advanced data quality assessment and advice system. This instrument has technology for the highest resolution sizing data for research purposes. Specifications of this product include:- ELS with M3-PALS and Constant Current Zeta Mode Static light scattering (90' and 173') Range 0.3 nm to 10um, Minimum volume 3 ul, Size Range 3.8 nm to 100 um, Minimum Volume 20 ul.
