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
