Zeta potential (ζ)

is a fundamental property of colloidal suspension related to the effective surface electrical charges of particles immersed in a solvent.

ζ measurement is very important because it gives an indication on formulation stability and electrophoretic properties of NPs. Zeta potential is measured by the well-known technique of Laser Doppler Electrophoresis.

Laser Doppler Electrophoresis principle :

An alternative electrical field/voltage is applied between two electrodes immersed deeply in the colloidal suspension; the charged particles are forced into a translation motion (electrophoresis) with a speed (ν) proportional to the applied electrical field. The electrophoretic mobility is defined by the ratio between the particle speed and the applied field amplitude.

Software

WALLIS Zeta Potential

ZetaQ

A software fully-dedicated to Zeta potential measurement for WALLIS featuring :

  • User-friendly and intuitive GUI

  • Measurements started and analyzed with few clicks

Three different user settable kinetic modes : ζ vs. time, ζ vs. pH, ζ vs. sample Temperature

Three measurement resolutions: Low (<1 mv), Medium (<0.5 mv), High (<0.1 mv).

The data Viewer

Advanced data-viewer for data post-processing :

  • Select experiments results and data from different users databases
  • Visualize them separately or superimposed on the same graph in the Analysis page
  • Display fits, zoom, select or discard results, change the solvent properties, etc

The Analysis page

  • Zeta potential and mobility measurements with their fits, averaged values and sigma (standard deviation) for each experiment displayed
  • Possibility to select or discard individual measurements
