Electrophoretic light scattering
Electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) is a technique used to measure the zeta potential of particles in a colloidal suspension. This method combines the principles of electrophoresis and dynamic light scattering to analyze the movement of charged particles under the influence of an electric field.
Principle[edit]
In electrophoretic light scattering, a sample containing charged particles is placed in a cell with electrodes. When an electric field is applied, the charged particles move towards the electrode of opposite charge. The velocity of this movement is influenced by the zeta potential, which is a measure of the electrostatic potential at the slipping plane of the particles.
A laser beam is directed through the sample, and the scattered light is detected at a specific angle. The frequency shift in the scattered light, caused by the Doppler effect due to the moving particles, is measured. This frequency shift is directly related to the velocity of the particles, which can be used to calculate the zeta potential.
Applications[edit]
Electrophoretic light scattering is widely used in various fields, including:
- Pharmaceuticals: To study the stability of drug formulations.
- Nanotechnology: To characterize nanoparticles and their surface charges.
- Biotechnology: To analyze proteins, DNA, and other biomolecules.
- Environmental science: To assess the stability of colloidal pollutants in water.
Advantages[edit]
- Non-destructive: The sample remains intact after measurement.
- High sensitivity: Capable of detecting small changes in zeta potential.
- Rapid analysis: Provides quick results compared to other methods.
Limitations[edit]
- Requires transparent samples: The technique is less effective with opaque samples.
- Sensitivity to ionic strength: High ionic strength can affect the accuracy of measurements.
