How to Choose a Zeta Potential Analyzer: General Guidelines

چکیده
Your life-saving drug, which was supposed to look clear before injection, has got large particles floating in it. The can of paint you bought to spruce up your living room is caked, and no amount of stirring makes it homogeneous again. And, adding insult to injury, the Béarnaise sauce for the broccoli is lumpy and your tap water is hazy. What do all these problems have in common? The answer is zeta potential represented by the Greek letter “”.

Zeta potential determination of polymeric materials using two differently designed measuring cells of an electrokinetic analyzer.
The so-called zeta potential can be determined through electrokinetic measurements and indicates the status regarding surface charges along the interface between solids and liquids. Surface charge gives us information about the condition, quality, and characteristics of a macroscopic surface in the polar medium. In our study the zeta potential was determined using a "SurPASS" electrokinetic ana...

Introduction: Curcumin is a water-insoluble agent with some anticancer and antimicrobial effects; while, solubility is essential for a medicine to reach target cells. This study set out to use chitosan tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (CTN) for making curcumin water-soluble, and delivering the required dosage of it to target cells. ...
متن کاملA Study of Zeta Potential of Plasma Sprayed Hydroxyapatite Coating in Four Simulated Physiological Solutions
The zeta potential magnitude and the duration of its changes have been thought to be directly related to the surface reactivity, the governing of osteoconductivity and availability of valuable information in determining the anticipated in-vivo performance of implants. In this study the zeta potential of plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) was evaluated in various simulated physiological solution...
متن کاملIon concentration effects on the zeta potential of bone.
Stressed bone generates an electrical potential, the sign of which reverses in the presence of specific concentrations of sodium, potassium, or calcium ions. A study was designed to test the hypotheses, drawn from stress-generated potential (SGP) studies, that the reversal in polarity of the zeta potential of bone is the cause of this SGP polarity reversal. The zeta potential of bone particles,...
متن کاملCellular Uptake and Cytotoxicity of β-Lactoglobulin Nanoparticles: The Effects of Particle Size and Surface Charge
It is necessary to understand the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of food-grade delivery systems, such as β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) nanoparticles, for the application of bioactive compounds to functional foods. The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationships between the physicochemical properties of β-lg nanoparticles, such as particle size and zeta-potential value, and their c...
