Measure concentration with high accuracy and repeatability

Samples were diluted in a gradient, and the concentration detection data showed a good linear relationship, consistent with the theoretical concentration(R² > 0.99). With 10 repeated tests, the coefficient of variation (CV) was less than 5%.

Single-Particle Zeta Potential Measurement

Zeta potential is an important indicator of the stability of dispersion systems. Under a constant electric field, the speed at which particles move is positively correlated with the absolute value of the Zeta potential. NanoCoulter™ measures the time it takes for particles to pass through a nanopore to obtain Zeta potential data, making it the only technology platform capable of simultaneously measuring single-particle size, Zeta potential, and concentration.
