Microtrac’s NANOTRAC Wave II / Zeta is a highly flexible Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analyzer which provides information on particle size, zeta potential, concentration, and molecular weight. It allows faster measurements with reliable technology, higher precision, and better accuracy. All of this combined into a compact DLS analyzer with a revolutionary fixed optical probe. With the unique and flexible probe design and the use of the Laser Amplified Detection method in the NANOTRAC Wave II / Zeta, the user is able to choose from a wide array of measurement cells that satisfy the needs of any application. This design also allows measurements of samples over a wide concentration range, monomodal or multimodal samples, all without prior knowledge of the particle size distribution. This is made possible through the use of the Frequency Power Spectrum (FPS) method instead of classical Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS).

For the accurate determination of the zeta potential and colloidal stability, the STABINO ZETA is the first choice. It can replace the classical zeta potential measurement and is able to perform very fast titrations. Nowadays, particle surface charge and interface potentials, such as the zeta potential and the streaming potential, are widely used to characterize the stability of suspensions, emulsions and nanoparticles. These parameters have established as a typical measure representing the electrostatic repulsion between particles. The STABINO ZETA has a high resolution and data point density, which allows very fast, precise and reproducible zeta potential measurements. It is possible to measure the zeta potential of particles in the range of 0.3 nm to 300 µm in a concentration range of up to 40 volume percent. Regarding the optimized measurement technology, the STABINO ZETA can measure up to 5 parameters simultaneously and within a few seconds: Zeta potential, streaming potential, conductivity, pH value, and temperature. In combination with our unique NANOTRAC FLEX, the particle size can also be measured as a sixth parameter simultaneously in the same sample.

Microtrac’s NANOTRAC Flex is a highly flexible nanoparticle size analyzer based on Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) which provides information on particle size, concentration, and molecular weight. It allows faster measurements with reliable technology, higher precision, and better accuracy. All of this combined into a compact DLS analyzer with a revolutionary fixed optical probe. With the unique and flexible probe design and the use of the Laser Amplified Detection method in the NANOTRAC FLEX, the user is able to choose an appropriate vessel as a measurement cell to satisfy the needs of any application. This design also allows measurements of samples over a wide concentration range, monomodal or multimodal samples, all without prior knowledge of the particle size distribution. This is made possible through the use of the Frequency Power Spectrum (FPS) method instead of classical Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS).

The AEROTRAC II is an analyzer for particle size distributions & concentration ratio analysis (calculated from transmitted laser light) for suspended particulates in air such as atomized droplets, powders, spray particles, mist and etc. AEROTRAC II can be used in a wide variety of fields, including droplets from injectors, nebulizers, insecticides, lotions, humidifiers, mist separators, powder paint and various powders.
