New UV spectrometer enables real-time water monitoring

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a powerful technique for determining the size distribution of particles in suspension, including proteins, polymers, and engineered nanoparticles. The principle is based on measuring the fluctuations in scattered light intensity caused by the Brownian motion of particles in solution.

Discover the progress made in water quality management through our innovative compact UV spectrometry technology. With the advantages of real-time UV spectroscopy, extensive wavelength coverage, a space-saving design, and improved performance capabilities, we have the potential to transform the field of water quality monitoring.
