The present communication illustrates the use of simple electrokinetic devices for the assessment of the zeta potential of submicron polystyrene particles. A combination of manual and automatic particle tracking was employed. This approach allows for characterizing particles in the same conditions and devices in which they can be separated, e.g. dielectrophoretic separations; making the resulting data readily applicable.
