Nepheloturbidometry

Nepheloturbidometry

Nepheloturbidometry Nepheloturbidometry is an instrumental technique used to quantitatively analyze substances in solution by measuring their light-scattering properties. Principle of Nepheloturbidometry: When a light beam passes through a sample containing suspended particles (larger than the wavelength of light), the particles scatter light in all directions. Nephelometry: Measures light scattered at an angle (typically 90°) to … Read more
