Measuring zeta streaming potential of cannabis emulsions simultaneously with STABINO ZETA and NANOTRAC FLEX

28 Mar 2023

In this application note, Microtrac MRB demonstrates the simultaneous determination of several parameters from cannabis emulsions within a few seconds, including zeta potential, streaming potential, pH, and size range. Dynamic light scattering and zeta potential were used to characterize CBD nanoemulsion that was created using a microfluidizer. Five liquid solutions were involved in the creation of the final nanoemulsion with the desired particle size. The resultant cannabis nanoemulsions were analyzed using both the NANOTRAC FLEX and the STABINO ZETA to determine the surface charge density, stability, zero point of charge, and size distribution. Download this free application note to discover more on the measurement of zeta streaming potential, including the results and summary of these analyses.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.

Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. Zeta PotentialDynamic Light ScatteringDynamic light scattering is used to measure the size distribution of particles in suspension by analyzing the way light scatters off them. It is commonly used in materials science, nanotechnology, and protein characterization.
