• Brand: Malvern
• Model: Zetasizer Advance Series – Pro (Blue Label)

Overview
The Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) system enables high-sensitivity measurement of key parameters such as particle size distribution, zeta potential, and molecular weight. It is widely used for chemical characterization, drug development, investigation of surface interactions of medical devices, and physicochemical analysis of targeted therapy systems (e.g., nanoparticle-based delivery platforms). Determining critical parameters such as nanoparticle size, surface charge, and stability is essential for both bioequivalence and product safety. DLS provides a powerful tool, particularly for optimizing drug delivery systems, characterizing biocompatible coatings, and evaluating interactions in biological environments. It is also used across many fields including materials science (metal colloids, metal oxides, pigments), nanotechnology (nanoparticle size and surface charge), chemistry and chemical engineering (polymer solutions and dispersions), and the food and pharmaceutical industries (stability analysis of emulsions and suspensions).
