The Zetasizer Nano (Laser Particle Size and Zeta Potential Analyzer) is designed to provide exceptional sensitivity for the measurement of size, zeta potential and molecular weight. This is particularly important for applications where the sample is small, dilute or scatters poorly. Solutions of proteins are prime examples of this, and mean that the Zetasizer is an alternative to the use of capillary electrophoresis and isoelectric focussing for charge measurement.
