The Malvern is indeed very nice. The only issue I have with ours is
that it doesn't do plates. This makes buffer screening a very laborious
busy that is best left to graduate students.

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

Dear Fellow Crystallographers
We are going to buy a DLS instrument to help us assess crystallizability
of our proteins. I would be grateful for any opinions - either
on this BB or in my mail box (in which case I'll keep them to myself,
naturally).
We have looked more closely at two instruments:
DynaPro NanoStar from Wyatt and
Zetasizer Micro V from Malvern
and both seem to be rather similar in terms of parameters and price.
I would appreciate user opinions as to the reliability,
ease of use or any features that make a given instrument
particularly suited for assessing biological samples.
Many thanks,
Wojtek
