Key Features

Benefit from the Perfect Angle Choice – Whatever the Sample

Image Credit: Anton Paar GmbH

Ensure great resolution of diverse size populations using multi-angle particle sizing (MAPS)

To optimize parameter settings, select one of three detection angles (side, rear, or forward scattering)

Manually choose the best angle for the dynamic light scattering device or utilize automatic angle selection.

Benefit from the flexible backscattering angle, which is suitable for turbid samples and eliminates numerous scattering events to provide optimal data quality

Rely on the cmPALS Technique for Zeta Potential Measurements

Image Credit: Anton Paar GmbH

Measure zeta potential using electrophoretic light scattering using the Litesizer DLS 700 and DLS 500

The proprietary cmPALS technology (European Patent 2 735 870) allows for very sensitive readings at low sample concentrations (as low as 0.1 mg/mL)

cmPALS provides quicker measuring times and less sample deterioration

The zeta potential cuvettes include a distinctive Ω-shaped capillary, allowing for extremely reproducible results

Stay Flexible with the Particle Concentration Measurement Mode

Image Credit: Anton Paar GmbH

With the Litesizer DLS 700, users can perform calibration-free particle concentration measurements of up to three distinct size populations inside one sample.

This mode based on single-angle DLS or multi-angle particle sizing (MAPS) ensures the applicability to monodisperse and polydisperse samples across a large concentration range.

Get Continuous Transmittance Measurements for Sample Monitoring

Image Credit: Anton Paar GmbH

Obtain continuous transmittance measurements for sample monitoring

Use automated optimization of measurement parameters (e.g., measurement angle, focus position, duration)

Access data on the commencement of sedimentation or aggregation within a series of measurement

Determine Refractive Index with the Same Instrument

Image Credit: Anton Paar GmbH

Measure the refractive index of the solvent at the precise wavelength and temperature of DLS or ELS measurements (European Patent 3 023 770) using Litesizer DLS 700 and Litesizer DLS 500

Under all experimental circumstances, ensure that particle size and zeta potential results are as accurate as possible.

Use Litesizer DLS 700 and DLS 500 to measure refractive index to within ±0.5% accuracy.
