Light-scattering instruments: Letting software take the strain

There’s nothing more frustrating than buying a new gadget and finding that it’s far more complicated to use than you expected. At Malvern Panalytical, we believe the machines you rely on for materials analysis should be accessible, not intimidating – even when they’re capable of performing the most advanced testing imaginable. 

Introducing ZS XPLORER 

To run samples quickly and analyze results easily, you need a combination of high processing performance and complete user-friendliness. But that’s not always what you find in dynamic light scattering (DLS) or electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) instruments. Luckily, our Zetasizer Advance range has the perfect solution. 

Meet ZS XPLORER, our new software. It’s a far cry from the complex interfaces you might be used to in other instruments on the market today – and it can support you at multiple different stages of your measuring processes. 

Getting started 

The software is centered on a sample-centric workflow that uses your inputs to optimize measurement settings and offer suggestions. All you need to do is enter some basic information about the sample, the measurement conditions, and the variables required, then simply choose the measurement type and let the Zetasizer get to work! 

But, of course, repeatedly inputting the set-up information quickly becomes tedious and time-consuming, so, with ZS XPLORER, we’ve made it easier to automate your sequence set-up. This saves you time and helps you run your testing more efficiently than ever.  

Results with meaning 

When it comes to the all-important results, the last thing you want to see is an endless list of complex, contextless measurements. That’s why ZS XPLORER is designed to present as much data as possible in graph form. The program keeps the raw material behind the scenes, readily accessible if necessary, and makes it easy for you to see the key facts at a glance. Say goodbye to wasted time spent trying to pick out the one number you’re looking for from a sheet of hundreds! 

Alongside ZS XPLORER sits another innovative software solution from Malvern Panalytical: Data Quality Guidance. Trained on over 100,000 data sets, this program can compare your results against this database and enable you to see whether your results are in line with what would be expected. Not only that, but it can even provide advice on how to correct any issues it identifies in your data, so you can fix any problems before you go too far.
