Accessories and software

Both the Zetasizer Nano range and the Zetasizer Advance range offer a wide range of cuvettes and cells.

New accessories and software for the Zetasizer Advance range

  • Both ranges also offer an auto titrator, with the Zetasizer Advance offering the more advanced MPT-3 model
  • The Zetasizer Advance range offers 21CRF compliance software to meet regulatory compliance, with flexible configuration of roles and permissions to fit your workflow
  • The Zetasizer Advance range also offers self-install capabilities to help get your new system up and running rapidly. There’s no need to wait for an engineer to visit

Models

The Zetasizer Nano had 6 core models available - and the Zetasizer Advance range has been simplified to 3 models with different configuration options for each model.

Our flagship Zetasizer Ultra has the most advanced capabilities. The Zetasizer Pro and Zetasizer Lab provide ideal solutions where the full capabilities are not required.
