			'''Zeta Potential Analyzers''' is an analytical device for characterizing zeta potential as a property of interfacial layer in liquid particulates (dispersions, emulsions) and porous bodies. There is ISO Standard -13099 being prepared that would describe the main principles underlying functioning of such devices. Zeta potential is not directly measurable parameter. It should be calculated from other experimentally measurable properties of the system using appropriate theory. There is no zeta potential analyzer that would be capable of working with all possible liquid based heterogeneous systems. All of them have limitation. It might be quite challenging to find an optimum device for particular application.

	Zeta potential is a scientific term for electrokinetic potential[1] in colloidal systems. In the colloidal chemistry literature, it is usually denoted using the Greek letter zeta, hence ζ-potential. From a theoretical viewpoint, zeta potential is electric potential in the interfacialdouble layer (DL) at the location of the slipping plane versus a point in the bulk fluid away from the interface. In other words, zeta potential is the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersed particle.
	~~A value of 25 mV (positive or negative) can be taken as the arbitrary value that separates low-charged surfaces from highly-charged surfaces.~~
	The significance of zeta potential is that its value can be related to the stability of colloidal dispersions (e.g., a multivitamin syrup). The zeta potential indicates the degree of repulsion between adjacent, similarly charged particles (the vitamins) in a dispersion. For molecules and particles that are small enough, a high zeta potential will confer stability, i.e., the solution or dispersion will resist aggregation. When the potential is low, attraction exceeds repulsion and the dispersion will break and flocculate. So, colloids with high zeta potential (negative or positive) are electrically stabilized while colloids with low zeta potentials tend to coagulate or flocculate as outlined in the table.[2][3]
