New Diffusion Barrier Method Developed By Malvern To Eliminate Protein Denaturation When Measuring Zeta Potential

Malvern Panalytical has developed a new diffusion barrier method to eliminate protein denaturation when measuring zeta potential using electrophoretic light scattering. Utilising a U-shaped disposable capillary cell, the new method delivers significant improvement in the accuracy and repeatability of zeta potential results for proteins. Ultimately, the method makes protein characterization with Malvern Panalytical’s Zetasizer range even easier.
