Workshop Summary
The IBNAM Equipment Core and Malvern Instruments will present a workshop designed to expand researchers’ knowledge of the Zetasizer Nano ZSP and its capabilities.
Experts from Malvern will be at Northwestern to explain how characterization of biomolecules, nanoparticles, and a broad range of emulsion materials can be carried out using dynamic light scattering (DLS), molecular weight determinations, and zeta potential measurements. This workshop will cover basic theory to instrumentation and measurement techniques so you can understand the data you obtain and optimize your results. Whether you are an experienced Zetasizer user or just beginning to learn about these techniques and instrumentation, this technical workshop will cover a broad range of topics to help you with your characterization needs.
