Researchers
at the Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC) within Purdue University's
unique Discovery Park, are finding the Malvern Instruments Zetasizer
Nano particle characterization system is ideally suited to the center's
interdisciplinary research environment. The system is housed within the
Chemical Nanotechnology/Microfluidics laboratory and users range from
those who are highly experienced with the instrument to complete
novices.
Lisa Reece is Lab
Director of the IN-CTSI (Indiana-Clinical Translational Sciences
Institute) BioNanotechnology Core Facility at the BNC and her previous
experiences with Malvern's customer service and expertise over 10 years
were significant in making the decision to choose the Zetasizer Nano.
"We've always been really happy with Malvern and while we've tried other
companies, the necessary expertise was not there," she said. "We're
doing cutting edge work at the BNC in a very exciting atmosphere, where
biological applications intersect with other areas of science. It's
truly multidisciplinary and we need instrumentation that supports that."
The
Zetasizer Nano particle characterization system measures particle size,
zeta potential and molecular weight. Easy to use and with applications
ranging from characterizing high concentration colloids and
nanoparticles to the measurement of dilute proteins and macromolecules
in their native state, the system is ideally suited to a
multidisciplinary research environment.
The
BNC is one of the research centers that make up Discovery Park, itself
the heart of large-scale interdisciplinary nano-scale research and
innovation at Purdue, building on the university's strengths in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics. The BNC leverages advances in
nanoscale science and engineering to create innovative nanotechnologies
addressing societal challenges and opportunities in computing,
communications, the environment, security, energy independence, and
health. In turn, it exploits progress in nanotechnology, using the most
advanced instrumentation to pursue answers to fundamental question in
the life and physical sciences.
