NanoSight NS500 Zeta Potential Analysis

Introduction

The NanoSight NS500 instrument is able to generate high resolution particle-by-particle zeta potential measurements when fitted with the zeta potential option. Zeta potential measurements are derived at the same time as particle size data enabling users to have a direct verification of the impact of a particles' size to its zeta potential as well as the overall colloid stability of the sample.

The flow charts in this document provide a walk through of how to start  and prime the fluidic systems of the NS500, find the correct measurement location, load a sample, generate and run a zeta potential script, flush and shut down the system.
