Turbidimeter

Description

• General description: The Turbiquant 1100 T is particularly suited for on-the-spot measurements as it is battery-operated. The robust carry-case and the waterproof casing offer additional protection. The turbidimeter contains a tungsten lamp emitting white light according to the requirements of USEPA Method 180.1 and APHA-AWWA-WPCF. Within seconds, the nephelometric turbidity of a sample (NTU/FNU) can be measured. The instrument can be calibrated using the respective Turbidiquant Calibration Standard Set.
• Application: A microfluidic-based quantitative analysis system for the multiplexed genetic diagnosis of human viral infections using colorimetric loop-mediated isothermal amplification.: This study presents a microfluidic system combined with turbidimetric measurement for the rapid and multiplexed detection of human viral infections.
