NanoSampler

Automated particle size measurement for the Zetasizer Nano

The Zetasizer NanoSampler is a sample delivery system that ensures highly precise and reproducible automated loading of samples into your Zetasizer Nano. The NanoSampler adds automation and unattended operation in a versatile, compact package, maximising the productivity of your Zetasizer Nano. While the benefits of automated operation are useful for all users, the NanoSampler is ideally suited for laboratories where a large number of measurements are required and reproducibility or multi-variate studies are important.

MPT-2

Simplify pH, conductivity and additive titrations on your Zetasizer Nano

A cost effective accessory designed to automate the measurement of size and zeta potential as a function of pH, conductivity or any soluble additive.

SV-10 viscometer

Viscosity measurement with speed, simplicity and accuracy.

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.
