Zetasizer Pro and Ultra-4

WHY USE LIGHT SCATTERING? There are various types of light scattering, each designed to provide useful and actionable physicochemical information on the sample being analyzed. The Zetasizer Pro and Zetasizer Ultra both offer two types of light scattering technology as standard: dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS). The frequency and intensity of the scattered light can be measured to determine the size and charge of materials. This information is commonly used to shorten development time for, and improve the stability of, colloidal (including protein) and...
