EV Zeta Potential Characterization

Zeta potential is a key parameter for evaluating EV stability, surface charge characteristics, and in vivo interactions. It directly influences adsorption, targeted delivery, and circulation time within biological systems. Traditional optical methods (DLS/LNT),can only provide an ensemble-averaged potential, failing to capture sample heterogeneity. NanoCoulter™ enables single-particle Zeta potential measurement, offering precise insights into EV population heterogeneity, thereby advancing research and applications in EV-based therapeutics.

In the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, particle size distribution (PSD) is a critical parameter that directly influences the performance and applicability of nanomaterials. Two of the most commonly used indicators to evaluate PSD are the Polydispersity Index (PDI) and the SPAN value. While often used interchangeably, these two metrics differ significantly in how they are calculated and interpreted. Understanding the distinction between PDI and SPAN is essential for accurate particle characterization.
