What type of high-quality nanopure water do you use for NTA analyses?

06 May 2024 1 2K Report

We recently acquired a ViewSizer3000 from Horiba, and the manufacturer recommended us to use nanopure water from XZero for the NTA analyses.

Do you recommend using any other brands of NW? Which ones?

Thank you in advance

Carla di Luca

Thank you so much for your answer, Allan. We needed this firsthand information regarding the common use of the equipment in the lab. We'll attempt to perform some blank tests with filtered ultrapure water.
