Actually I prefer a device not based on optics. However if I don't find any methods I think I would be forced to devise a setup myself based on optics. In which one you can help me?
Electrophoretic mobility (EM) is used to quantify the zeta potential ζ,. The velocity of the colloid is measured (by microscopic observation) in the presence of an electrical field and after performing a force balance on the colloid we can derive:
EM= ζ . ε / 4 μ
EM= is the velocity (observed) of colloid movement divided by the voltage gradient. generally units would be cm/sec per volts/cm.
