Zetasizer Nano ZS
The Zetasizer Nano ZS is a high performance two angle particle and molecular size analyser for the enhanced detection of aggregates and measurement of small or dilute samples, and samples at very low or high concentration using dynamic light scattering with ‘NIBS’ optics. The ZSP also incorporates a zeta potential analyzer that uses electrophoretic light scattering for particles, molecules and surfaces, and a molecular weight analyzer using static light scattering.

Roles and Interests
My role is to conduct collaborative research in the area of Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM), and help users on Cryo-EM and the three-dimensional reconstruction.
My interests focus on solving the structure of macromolecular complexes and soft matter using Cryo-EM method (single-particle cryo-EM and cryo electron tomography). Meanwhile, I am also interested in developing Cryo-EM method for its application at organic and inorganic interface.

BMSF - Access - BMSF Analysts
For short projects or when a project supervisor does not want to train staff or students to perform analysis at the BMSF, an expert BMSF analyst can provide assistance. This usually begins with a meeting to discuss the scientific needs of the project. Whenever possible the analyst will assist on that project until its completion. If BMSF expertise is needed for grant applications or publishing results, the analysts will normally be able to assist.
BMSF - Access - Register User and/or Project
Users need to apply for registration with the BMSF before being able to access equipment and services. Registered users are provided with access to the booking system and to other services such as training and learning resources provided by the BMSF. To access these resources the user must log in to the BMSF Booking System.
