Flow-mode option
Introduction
This chapter gives an overview of the Flow-mode option. Instruments fitted with
this option can be connected to a size exclusion chromatography ( SEC ) system and
be used as a light scattering detector.
It describes how to connect, control and operate the flow-mode arrangement to
ensure reliable and consistent measurements.
The following cell is available for use with the Zetasizer Nano when connected to a
SEC system.

The option is for use with all Zetasizer Nano instruments except the Nano Z .
If fitted, an option part number label will be attached to the front of the cuvette
holder. The flow mode option is included as a standard fitment on the
Zetasizer Nano ZSP.
Flow-mode
The Flow-mode option allows the Zetasizer Nano to be connected, using a
flowcell, to a flowing sample stream, such as the output of a chromatographic
column or a field flow fractionation system, and measurements made without
interrupting the flow. The output from external detectors, such as refractive index
and ultra-violet absorption detectors, can be input back into the Zetasizer to allow
integration of the data, using optional hardware.
