Zetasizer nano particle analyzer

Manufactured by Malvern Panalytical
Sourced in United Kingdom

The Zetasizer Nano Particle Analyzer is a dynamic light scattering (DLS) instrument used to measure the size and zeta potential of particles in a sample. It can determine the size distribution of particles ranging from 0.3 nanometers to 10 micrometers. The Zetasizer Nano also measures the zeta potential of particles, which is an indicator of the stability of colloidal dispersions.

The size and morphological structure
of samples were examined under
TEM (JEOL JEM 2100 TEM electron microscope). The size distribution
and surface charge of functionalized mesoporous silica nanocomposites
in a suspension were measured on a Zeta-sizer nanoparticle analyzer
(Malvern). The stability of PMS nanocomposites in 10% mouse serum
in DMEM (v/v) or 0.01 M PBS (pH 7.4) at 37 °C for 48 h was tested
by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The surface analysis was employed
by N2 adsorption isotherms at 77 K (Micromeritics ASAP2020
absorptiometer). The particle surface areas were assessed by the BET
(Brunauer–Emmett–Teller) method and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda
(BJH) method used to calculate the pore size distributions of particles.
FTIR spectroscopy was used to investigate the functional groups at
range of 500–4000 cm–1 in functionalized
MSNs (Thermo Scientific NICOLET 5700).

The determination of hydrodynamic diameter (DH = 2RH, nm) and zeta potential of ONu and DNA molecules, as well as their complexes with surfactants, was carried out on a ZetaSizer Nano particle analyzer (Malvern Instruments Ltd., Worcestershire, UK) [49 (link),50 (link),51 (link)]. The hydrodynamic radius of the particles (RH) was calculated based on the Stokes–Einstein Equation (1) [52 (link),53 (link),54 (link)]:
where k is the Boltzmann’s constant, T is the absolute temperature, η is the solvent’s viscosity, and RH is the hydrodynamic radius.
The electrophoretic mobility of the samples was converted to zeta potential using the Smoluchowski Equation (2):
where ζ is the zeta potential, η is the dynamic viscosity of the solution, μ is the mobility of the particle, and ε is the dielectric constant.
The experiment was carried out at an initial concentration of ONu equal to 500 µM and DNA equal to 10 µM and at sequential titration of these systems with surfactant solutions to obtain a certain molar ratio of N/P (nitrogen/phosphorus − r).

The size, polydispersity (PDI), and zeta potential of SHK@HA-MPDA nanoparticles were measured by a Zeta Sizer Nanoparticle Analyzer (Malvern Panalytical, Malvern, UK). The morphological observation of SHK@HA-MPDA was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The drug encapsulation efficiency (EE%) and drug-loading capacity (DL%) of SHK@HA-MPDA were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (1260 Infinity, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA) equipped with Agilent-C18 (5 μm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm). The chromatographic conditions for SHK determination were listed as follows: mobile phase composed of methanol (90%) and phosphoric acid (0.01%) aqueous solution, flow rate of 1 mL/min, and detection wavelength of 516 nm. The in vitro drug release was evaluated by a dialysis method using a dialysis membrane (MWCO 8,000–14,000 Da) in PBS (pH 5.0) containing 0.5% (w/v) SDS with 150 rpm/min shaking at 37 °C. The released drugs were quantified by HPLC as described above. The serum stability of SHK@HA-MPDA was evaluated by suspending them in PBS containing 10% new-born bovine serum (Zhejiang Tianhang Biotechnology Co., Ltd, Hangzhou, China) with a general shaking at 150 rpm at 37 °C. The size of particles at a specified time was measured by a Zeta Sizer Nanoparticle Analyzer.

The emulsion was prepared by dilution with distilled water in a 500-ml beaker and gentle agitation using a glass rod. The emulsion droplet diameter was subsequently determined by dynamic light scattering using a Zetasizer Nano Particle Analyzer (Malvern Instruments, UK). A helium–neon laser (4 mW) was operated at 633 nm with the scattering angle being fixed at 173° and the temperature being maintained at 25 °C. All the measurements were performed in triplicate (Li et al., 2010 ).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Au NPs were prepared by citrate-mediated reduction of HAuCl4. Briefly, 1 mL of 1% (w/v) hydrogen tetrachloroaurate solution was added to 99 mL of water. The solution was brought to boil and stirred vigorously. Then, 4 mL of 1% (w/v) sodium citrate was added to the boiling solution quickly. The solution was continuously stirred until the solution color turned to wine red. After another 5 min of stirring, the heat source was removed and the solution was cooled down to room temperature. The average size of gold nanoparticles identified by a Zetasizer nanoparticle analyzer (Malvern Instruments, UK) was about 16 ± 1 nm. In order to remove free sodium citrate in the solution, the Au NPs were isolated by centrifugation (12000 rpm for 20 min) and resuspended in ultrapure water.
The centrifugation-resuspension-recentrifugation cycle was repeated 2 times. The red oily precipitate was resuspended in ultrapure water, and was one-tenth of its original volume.
The concentration of the Au NPs was calculated to be 7.36 nmol dm -3 according to the Lambert-Beer law.

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.
