Zetasizer Lab

Classic side scatter particle size and zeta potential analyzer with enhanced capabilities

Overview

Our Zetasizer Lab system offers traditional 90-degree side-scatter size measurements but still offers enhanced features. The Zetasizer Lab incorporates Adaptive Correlation, M3-PALS and constant current zeta mode as well as our extended size range analysis when used with ZSU1002 capillary cell. The Zetasizer Lab also ships with ZS Xplorer, our easy-to-use analytical software. ZS Xplorer offers instant feedback on data quality, and guidance on how to improve your results.
