Zetasizer Nano accessories guide

Page 5-7

depending upon the measurement setup and data available, both the zeta potential
and size optimization measurements can be ignored, with the user going directly to
the microrheology stage.

Settings

Description

Zeta potential
SOP / Size SOP

Select or deselect the zeta potential and size tick boxes as
required. Refer to the schematic description below.

Load

Load a saved SOP file. The SOP loaded will be shown in the
above entry box.

Edit

Edit a new zeta potential or size SOP.

Schematic

The schematic shows the optimization process that will be
conducted. If either or both of the zeta potential or size SOP
tick boxes are deselected, the schematic will grey out that
part of the schematic and that part of the measurement
stage will be ignored.
