Turbidity measures the cloudiness/haziness of a fluid. It is a key test for water quality, turbidity is caused by particles of varying size scattering/absorbing the light and creating a cloudy appearance. The turbidity of a sample will increase with the amount of undissolved solids present.

For an accurate measurement of turbidity a sample vial is placed in an nephelometer meter called a turbidimeter or turbidity meter. The meter emits a known intensity of light through the sample cell and the scattered light is measured at 90 degrees to the light source to give a turbidity reading in units NTU (nephelometric turbidity units) or FTU (formazin turbidity units). There are a range...
For their new series of turbidity meters, available in benchtop and online versions, Hach have used totally new technology to increase accuracy and confidence in results.
The video and notes below explain how the measurement technology works, to ensure results are accurate time after time.

Q: Are the StablCal or Gelex Turbidity Standards manufactured by Hach traceable to NIST ? [caption id="attachment_8711" align="aligncenter" width="300"] StablCal turbidity standards by Hach are a gel standard to offer a longer shelf life and safer, simpler alternative to traditional Formazine liquid standards[/caption] A: No - NIST does not carry turbidity standards, so no standards for t...
Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality.

Thanks for sharing such a great information.. It really helpful to me.. I always search to read the quality content and finally i found this in you post. keep it up!
I came across your article about "DPD Tablets" on Camlab Info, and it's a valuable resource for anyone seeking information about water testing and analysis using DPD tablets. Your explanation of their usage and significance in water quality monitoring is quite informative.
This article on nanocolor tube tests is a gem for analytical enthusiasts. The idea of zero calibration is intriguing, and your detailed explanation makes it accessible. The step-by-step process helps demystify the technique for beginners like me. The use cases you've highlighted, particularly in...
Grant have introduced the new Controlled Rate Freeze Thaw (CRFT), which is a liquid nitrogen and cryogen free controlled rate freeze and thaw system for cryopreservation in a wide range of applications. Cryopreservation is a process where biological materials such as cells, tissues...
A dipslide is a means of testing the microbial content of liquids. This is a common method of monitoring and measuring microbial activity within many systems and commonly cooling systems. Usually the use of a dipslide is the first line of defence for the testing of microbial issues that could be...
Purchasing items using donated funds without the burden of VAT will now save many Millions of pounds each year which can be put to better use in advancing scientific knowledge to provide new treatments and cures that will shape the medicines of the future.
Working with pressure/vacuum conditions in the lab is common but not all products are designed to withstand this. Products with appropriate geometry and wall thickness are suitable for working safely with pressure. For example, filtering flasks, desiccators, or flat flange vessels, as well as...
