Product Description

M-Kube supplies advanced zeta potential analysis systems to laboratories and manufacturers across India, designed for the measurement and characterisation of particle surface charge in suspensions, emulsions and other dispersed systems. Zeta potential is an important parameter for understanding electrostatic interactions, colloidal stability, particle aggregation and dispersion behaviour in pharmaceutical, chemical, materials, cosmetic, food, environmental and research applications.

Our range includes laboratory zeta potential analyzers and particle characterisation systems based on Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), photon correlation spectroscopy and electrophoretic light scattering technology. If you are looking for a dedicated zeta potential instrument, or a combined particle size and zeta potential analyzer that measures both nanoparticle size and surface charge on one platform, M-Kube can help you select the right system for your samples.

The measured zeta potential gives valuable information about particle interactions and dispersion stability. Changes in pH, ionic strength, concentration, temperature or surface chemistry can influence the measured value, making zeta potential analysis useful for studying formulation and material behaviour. For Indian laboratories searching for dependable zeta potential analyzer suppliers, our team supports you from application review through to configuration.

What Is Zeta Potential?

Particles dispersed in a liquid typically carry a surface charge, which attracts a layer of oppositely charged ions around them. Zeta potential is the electrical potential at the boundary of this layer, known as the slipping plane, and is measured in millivolts (mV). It is determined by applying an electric field to the sample and measuring how fast the particles move (their electrophoretic mobility) using light scattering, which is why the technique is called electrophoretic light scattering.

As a general guideline, particles with a zeta potential of larger magnitude (commonly beyond about ±30 mV) tend to repel each other strongly and resist aggregation, while values close to zero often indicate a higher tendency to aggregate. This is only a guide: actual stability also depends on steric stabilisation, concentration, the dispersion medium and formulation chemistry.

Zeta Potential of Nanoparticles – Why It Matters

The zeta potential of nanoparticles is one of the first parameters researchers check when developing or troubleshooting a nanoparticle dispersion. Because nanoparticles have very large surface area relative to their volume, their surface charge strongly influences whether they stay dispersed or aggregate. Measuring particle size by DLS together with zeta potential gives a much more complete picture of a nanoparticle formulation than either measurement alone, which is why combined particle size and zeta potential analyzer systems are popular in pharmaceutical, nanomaterial and cosmetic laboratories.

  • Dispersion stability
  • Particle aggregation tendency
  • Surface-charge behaviour

Product FAQ's

How is zeta potential measured?

The sample is placed in a cell and an electric field is applied. Charged particles move at a speed proportional to their charge, and this electrophoretic mobility is measured using laser light scattering and converted into zeta potential.

What does a high or low zeta potential value mean?

As a general guideline, values of larger magnitude (commonly beyond about ±30 mV) suggest stronger electrostatic repulsion and better dispersion stability, while values near zero suggest a greater tendency to aggregate. This is only a guide, as stability also depends on other factors.

What is Dynamic Light Scattering?

Dynamic Light Scattering, or DLS, determines particle size by analyzing fluctuations in light scattered by particles undergoing Brownian motion in a liquid.

What is the measurement range of M-Kube’s DLS analyzers?

Model 802 and Model 803 have a published range of 0.3–10,000 nm, while Model 901 combines the same published particle-size range with zeta-potential measurement. Actual performance depends on the sample.

What is the difference between a nanoparticle size analyzer and a zeta potential analyzer?

A nanoparticle size analyzer determines the size and size distribution of particles, while a zeta potential analyzer measures the electrical potential associated with particles dispersed in a liquid. Some systems, such as Model 901, perform both measurements.

Can zeta potential indicate dispersion stability?

Zeta potential can provide useful information about electrostatic interactions and dispersion behaviour. However, dispersion stability depends on multiple factors, including particle concentration, medium, ionic strength, steric effects and formulation chemistry.

Can the same instrument measure particle size and zeta potential?

Yes. Model 901 is specifically designed to combine nanoparticle-size and zeta-potential measurement.

What samples can be measured?

M-Kube identifies applications including nano metal oxides, nano metal powders, nano ceramics, proteins, polymer latex, pharmaceutical preparations, emulsions, paints, coatings, pigments, inks, toners and cosmetics.

Is DLS suitable for all nanoparticles?

Not necessarily. DLS performance depends on sample concentration, dispersion quality, optical properties, polydispersity and the presence of aggregates or multiple populations. Application suitability should therefore be assessed for the specific sample.

What is the difference between DLS and laser diffraction?

DLS is particularly suited to nanoscale particles dispersed in liquid, whereas laser diffraction is generally used for broader particle-size distributions extending into the micron and millimetre ranges. The appropriate technology depends on the sample and required measurement range.
