Nanotrac wave instrument
The Nanotrac Wave is a laser diffraction particle size analyzer designed to measure the size distribution of particles in the nanometer to micrometer range. It utilizes the principle of dynamic light scattering to determine the hydrodynamic size of particles suspended in a liquid medium. The instrument provides accurate and reproducible results for a wide range of materials, including nanoparticles, emulsions, and suspensions.

Characterization of ZnO Phytonanoparticles
For the characterization of ZnO phytonanoparticles, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and infrared transmission spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FT-IR) were first carried out. This was verified by performing a spectral scan of the colloidal solution in a range of 300–700 nm in a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Beckman Coulter, USA), calibrated with a ZnSO4 solution (0.34 m) [7 (link)]. Likewise, the presence of the bands corresponding to the zinc metallic bonds in the phytonanoparticles was identified with an infrared spectroscope (NICOLET, Wisconsin, USA).
The size of the phytonanoparticles and the zeta potential were analyzed in solution using a nanotrac wave instrument (Microtrac, Montgomeryville PA, USA) according to Mendez-Trujillo et al. [8 (link)]. Measurements were made using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique in a range of 0.1–1000 μm at 25°C, with a laser wavelength of 780 nm and a scattering angle of 90 Åã. Data obtained from DLS was analyzed using Microtrac FLEX operating software [9 (link)–11 (link)].
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
