New Zetasizer Advance – DLS for every application – meet the new Zetasizer Family!. Find out more
Find out moreThe new Zetasizer Ultra is our most advanced system for the measurement of particle and molecular size, particle charge and particle concentration, and represents the most intelligent and flexible instrument in the Zetasizer Advance range.
Our flagship model enjoys all the benefits afforded by ZS Xplorer software, in terms of ease of use, analysis speed and data confidence, and also offers two unique measurement capabilities: Multi-Angle Dynamic Light Scattering (MADLS) and particle concentration*, to offer even greater insight into your samples.

ZS Xplorer 4.0.0 is the first version to support the new Zetasizer Sample Assistant automated particle size and Zeta potential sample changer. Small updates to Smart Manager components are also included.
Please Note: OmniTrust (regulated environment) users will not be able to access Sample Assistant as the feature does not currently support OmniTrust.
See SUN for full details.
Maintenance release, updates to key services and addition of Titration summary data logs.
See SUN for full details.
ZS Xplorer version 3.3 extends OmniTrust support to the Studies features of the main application. Previously OmniTrust users were prevented from accessing Studies to prevent un-audited events. From 3.3 OmniTrust users can now access Studies for Molecular Weight and associated parameters with permissions and auditing of events within the Studies features.
Note that Studies by their nature are intended for advanced users and to be flexible in their analysis. Users not requiring Studies features can still prevent access to these features using permissions in OmniAccess.
Version 3.3 also addresses a few minor bug fixes.
See SUN for full details.
ZS Xplorer 3.2.2 has the following updates:
Software re-branded to Malvern Panalytical brand
Minor bug fixes - one of which may have prevented instrument connection
Bug fix for OmniTrust users that meant editing of records was possible, even when user permission for this action was disabled (recommended update for OmniTrust users currently on ZS Xplorer 3.2.1.)
Updated Toluene calibration routine to prevent incorrect reporting of issues with calibration.
See SUN for full details.
ZS Xplorer 3.2.1 adds Smart Instrument enrollment - the first step in bringing Zetasizer into Malvern Panalytical's Smart Manager services.
Several installer improvements have been made to reduce ZS Xplorer requirements around .NET and WebView2 components.
We have also added ability to edit peak thresholds for size measurements and refinements on CSV exporting from parameter tables.
See SUN for full details.
ZS Xplorer version 3.2.0 adds upper and lower display range configuration for Size/MADLS & Particle Concentration measurements.
Introduces Data Quality Advice for MADLS & Particle Concentration measurements.
Adds further Trend analysis improvements and bug fixes.
Extends Japanese and Chinese localization to Studies and Data Quality Advice.
Adds speed and robustness improvements to Scattering standard measurements.
Other improvements and bug fixes.
See SUN for full details.
ZS Xplorer version 3.1.0 extends studies and concentration trend measurements to support the Zetasizer Advance Lab models and also adds the capability to perform concentration trends in either back or side scatter on Zetasizer Advance Ultra models. Concentration trends also now supports setting of measurement temperature and adds display of R2 value to tables and graphs.
Exporting of data to CSV file from graphs and tables in Concentration trends and from Parameter and Statistic tables in Analyze views has been introduced.
Data quality advice for Zeta potential measurements has been further refined to provide users with better diagnosis of sample/measurement issues.
Exporting a study now provides an option to include the results data for transfer of the complete study between data repositories.
Various bug fixes, see software update notification for details.
ZS Xplorer version 3.0.0 introduces studies and concentration trend measurements for the determination of molecular weight by static light scattering and kD by dynamic light scattering. Note: This first release does not support Zetasizer Lab or OmniTrust users. Auto averaging for Zeta, MADLS and Particle concentration has also been added along with other quality of life features and bug fixes. See SUN for details.
ZS Xplorer version 2.3.1 introduces post-analysis averaging for Zeta, Particle Concentration and MADLS size measurements. Zeta mobility parameters and graphs have
been added, as well as a count rate meter and
localization for Chinese (Simplified) and Japanese language support.
Important: This version supports OmniTrust 1.4.0; OmniTrust users should upgrade their installation to 1.4 if upgrading to ZS Xplorer 2.3.1.

Configure the Zetasizer Ultra for your applications and requirements with our range of configuration options:
Significantly improve your system utilization with the Sample Assistant – a new accessory for every Zetasizer Advance system. It frees the operator from manually changing samples.
The result? The same great data quality and versatility you expect from your Zetasizer Advance with even greater efficiency.
The SV-10 measures viscosity with the accuracy required for dynamic light scattering, for the conversion of diffusion speed to size, and electrophoretic mobility to zeta potential, in an extremely simple and rapid system.
The MPT-3 is a cost-effective accessory for the Zetasizer Advance range, designed to automate your Zeta and/or Size vs. pH titrations, helping you understand how your materials behave as a function of pH.
The zeta potential and/or size of your materials with pH changes can be critical in understanding:
The zeta potential of colloids and molecules is extremely sensitive to contamination from components of a previous sample used in a measurement cell. The use of a disposable cell completely eliminates this potential contamination issue.
The folded capillary cell provides the benefits of the accuracy of measurement of a capillary cell with the ease of use of a disposable cell.
Although, disposable, including the electrodes, for low conductivity samples each cell can be used for hundreds of measurements if required.
The cell can be used with the autotitrator, where multiple measurements are routinely done over a wide pH range.
The high concentration cell enables the measurement of the zeta potential of samples with little or no dilution in any Zetasizer Advance system that measures zeta potential.
The cell has a flow configuration so can be used for stop-flow size and zeta potential measurements using an MPT-3 autotitrator as well as batch measurements.
Our low volume disposable sizing cell (ZSU1002) design is unique in offering easy-fill, ultra-low volume size measurement in as little as 3 μL.
This quartz cuvette holds between 12 μL and 45 μL of sample and is used for size measurements. It is compatible with both aqueous and non-aqueous solvents and dispersants.
