FAQ for Nephelometer
1: How does a Nephelometer differ from a Turbidimeter?
Nephelometer measures the intensity of light scattered at a specific angle (typically 90°), offering higher accuracy for low turbidity levels, whereas a Turbidimeter may measure transmitted light.
2: Is the Nephelometer compatible with all McFarland standards?
Yes, it is calibrated to work with standard McFarland turbidity solutions, ensuring universal applicability in clinical and research settings.
3: Can the Nephelometer store historical data for multiple samples?
Depending on the model, many Nephelometers include internal memory or USB ports for saving and exporting data, aiding in long-term sample tracking.
4: What maintenance is required to keep the optical system accurate?
Regular cleaning of the optical cell, periodic calibration with standard solutions, and proper storage help maintain accuracy and extend the lifespan of the device.
