ZetaCAD

Streaming potential, Streaming current & zeta potential meter

The ZetaCAD has been specially designed to automatically determine the zeta potential by the technique streaming potential.

An electrolyte is to move through a capillary or porous plug by a pressure gradient. The excess charges around the particles or wall are carried along by the liquid. Their accumulation down stream causes the build-up of an electric field which drives an electric current back (by ionic conduction through the liquid) against the direction of the liquid flow. A steady state is quickly established and the measured potential across the capillary is called the streaming potential

• Applicable to particles above 50 µm diameter and flat surfaces
• Reliable and simple to setup
• Measurement and rinsing of the system are fully automated
• Menu driven software Windows based.
• Data acquisition creates ASCII files directly compatible with usual spreadsheet
