Zeta Potential Analysis

Solid surface analysis is important for determining electrokinetic potential of macroscopic solids where streaming potential and currents are measured. The instrument is capable of acquiring single measurements at a specific pH or a titration, which can range for pH 2 to 12. With the availability of three mounts, a variety of samples ranging from solid surfaces to fabrics and powdered samples can be assessed. The electrokinetic analyser can measure surface potential (zeta potential) of smooth surfaces and Isoelectric point of surfaces can also be identified. Surface potential of metal plates, ceramic tiles, wafers and thin films can be measured with a clamping cell whereas for measurements of polymer membranes, filters textile fabrics and minerals and rocks require an adjustable gap cell. A cylindrical cell can be acquired for measuring zeta potential of powdered and granular samples.

Surface potential analyser with a variety of sample fixtures used primarily for measurement of zeta potential of solid surfaces
Related Information
SurPASS electrokinetic analyzers employ the classic streaming potential and streaming current method for a direct analysis of the surface zeta potential. The zeta potential is related to the surface charge at a solid/liquid interface and is a key parameter for understanding surface properties and developing new specialized materials.
