Hiya. My two penneth on the Malvern Zetasizer.
Simple, idiot-proof operation. Software is easy and intuative. Reports are customisable to give you what information you want. Problems easy to trouble shoot IMHO. Does DLS, SLS, melting point determination. After-care support is good from Malvern. Not used the Wyatt instrument. HTH, Dave ============================ David C.
