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
