Malvern Instruments
Introducing the NEW Zetasizer Nano ZS
Malvern Instruments' new Zetasizer Nano ZS offers the ultimate in desktop particle characterization. It combines the most advanced technologies for zeta potential, particle size and molecular weight measurement of molecules and nano-sized particles, in a single compact and exceptionally easy to use instrument.
Using the world's first disposable zeta potential capillary cell, the Zetasizer Nano ZS eliminates cell cleaning, and with it the risk of sample cross contamination. It measures particle size of samples ranging from the small, highly dilute and poorly scattering, right through to concentrated suspensions and emulsions, and requires only very low sample volumes. Find out how it fits your application at http://www.malvern.co.uk/zetasizer/index.htm
