• Sample trays 
  Three types of trays to support Standard and Universal sizing cells and Zeta cells.
  
  
• Tray bays
  Hold any tray in a configuration that works for you. Trays can be held in up to six different positions.

Tray bay options

• Standard Tray: Our standard tray holds samples in presented in 10x10mm cuvettes, such as DTS0012 disposable cuvettes, holds up to 24 cuvettes
• Zeta Cell Tray: Our zeta cell tray is designed to hold up to 12 Zeta capillary cells, such as DTS1070, in the correct orientation
• Universal Cell Tray: Our universal cell tray is designed to hold up to 96 of our Universal disposable sizing cells and it honors the plan geometry of ANSI/SLAS 96-well plates to provide improved compatibility with multi-pipettes and fluid handling systems

Providing operator flexibility

The great advantage of the Zetasizer is that the entire system is designed holistically. From the instrument itself to the sample cells, everything about the Zetasizer is designed to ensure optimal data quality. So what’s the missing piece of the puzzle?

Until now, you had to be present to operate the instrument and achieve that unparalleled data quality. From now on, thanks to the Sample Assistant users can enjoy the same, high quality data without the need to attend the instrument, having the chance to do other tasks while the Assistant is dealing with the samples.

The Sample Assistant solves both problems: high-quality sample data that inspires confidence, without the need to be present. It is also easy to upgrade, with no instrument modifications, no time lost when cleaning between samples, and no risk of cross-contamination.

Improve utilization

• Minimizes the time lost between samples. Sample Assistant is always ready.
• Extends the workday or week. Your Zetasizer with Sample Assistant can run unattended at any time.
• Reduces time lost from cleaning flow cells between samples.

Operates safely

• Works around you: detects obstructions and stops safely.
• Makes it easy to recover from a system failure: your data is safe and the last known state is preserved.
