Description

Zeta sizing, commonly referred to as zeta potential measurement, is an analytical technique used to determine the surface charge and stability of particles in suspension. It is widely applied in nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, food science, and materials engineering to study colloidal stability, dispersion behavior, and aggregation tendencies.

The technique measures the electrokinetic potential at the slipping plane of particles in a liquid medium. A higher absolute zeta potential value (positive or negative) indicates better stability of colloidal suspensions, while lower values suggest a tendency toward flocculation or sedimentation. This information is essential for optimizing formulations, improving product shelf life, and controlling particle interactions.
