Malvern Launches the Zetasizer Nano ZSP to Global Audience
MALVERN, England, September 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
New top-of-the-range dynamic light scattering system adds unique protein measurement
and microrheology capabilities to market-leading family of instruments
On 12 September 2012, Malvern Instruments conducted the global launch of an exciting
addition to its Zetasizer family, bringing unique protein measurement and novel
microrheology capabilities to this established and market-leading range of dynamic light
scattering (DLS) systems. Introduced in the space of 24 hours via a series of webcasts to
audiences around the world, the new high-specification Zetasizer Nano ZSP delivers
enhanced sensitivity and comes with advanced software that drives the two new measurement
types.

Like other systems in the range, the Zetasizer Nano ZSP is a single, compact unit. It
shares the simplicity and ease of use that have made Zetasizer Nano systems a firm
favourite in industry and academia for almost a decade. Where the Zetasizer Nano ZSP
stands apart, however, is in its unique performance specifications for both size and zeta
potential measurement. One of the most significant applications being the measurement of
the zeta potential, or electrophoretic mobility, of proteins. This process is further
simplified by the inclusion of a new protein mobility measurement type in the software
that controls data acquisition, guiding the user through the measurement and assesses and
reports on data quality. The protein mobility measurement package is included with the
Zetasizer Nano ZSP instrument as standard.
As well as the suite of new protein-specific features, the new version of Zetasizer
software, launched together with the Zetasizer Nano ZSP, enables a brand new type of
measurement on the instrument: Microrheology. This DLS-based optical technique allows
rheological characterization of weakly-structured and highly strain-sensitive materials
using only microliter sample volumes. Amongst its applications are measuring the viscosity
of polymer and protein solutions and determining the onset of protein aggregation.
Malvern's extended Zetasizer family now includes the full Zetasizer Nano range of
systems for characterizing size, molecular weight and zeta potential measurement; the
Zetasizer APS for automated protein size measurements in multiwell plates; and the
Zetasizer microV designed for protein size and molecular weight measurements in both
cuvette and chromatography modes (for example, in combination with a GPC/SEC system).
