Zeta Potential: A Complete Course in 5 Minutes

چکیده
Zeta potential can help you understand and control colloidal suspensions. Examples include complex biological systems such as blood and functional ones like paint. Colloidal suspensions can be as thick as paste (like cement) or as dilute as the turbidity particles in a lake. Water, milk, wine, clay, dyes, inks, paper and pharmaceuticals are good examples of useful colloidal systems. Water is a common suspending liquid, although non-aqueous liquids are used as well. In many cases, the performance of a suspension can be improved by understanding the effect of colloidal behavior on such properties as viscosity, settling and effective particle size.

A 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 کاملP-84: Phospholipase C Zeta: As an Index to Assess Fertilization Potential of a Semen Sample
Background: Failed fertilization post ICSI has been mainly attributed to the sperm’s inability to induce oocyte activation. Phospholipase C Zeta (PLCζ) is considered to be a primary factor for the induction of oocyte activation. The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess the expression of PLCζ in globozoospermic or individuals with previous low or failed fertilization in comparison to f...
متن کاملZeta Sperm Selection Improves Pregnancy Rate and Alters Sex Ratio in Male Factor Infertility Patients: A Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial
Objective Selection of sperm for intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is usually considered as the ultimate technique to alleviate male-factor infertility. In routine ICSI, selection is based on morphology and viability which does not necessarily preclude the chance injection of DNA-damaged or apoptotic sperm into the oocyte. Sperm with high negative surface electrical charge, named “Zeta p...
متن کاملTime-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
متن کاملComparison of Sperm Telomere Length between Two Sperm Selection Procedures: Density Gradient Centrifugation and Zeta Potential
Background: Telomeres are particular sequences of DNA located at the end of the eukaryotic chromosomes that are essential for genome integrity. Telomere length in spermatozoa differs among males, as well as spermatozoa. Also, decreased telomere length in spermatozoa of infertile men is associated with the reduction of fertility potential and embryo quality. Density gradient centrifugation (DGC)...
