Streaming potential & zeta potential meter

(Zeta potential for powder, solids, polymer, membrane, fiber etc...)  

ZetaCAD is a specially designed automated equipment for the determination of Zeta Potential using the streaming potential technique

Principle

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.
