QUADOPTIX™ TECHNOLOGY
The Palintest Compact Turbimeter utilizes QuadoptiX™ technology for turbidity
measurement a sophisticated optical approach designed to ensure turbidity
measurements are as accurate and repeatable as possible in even the most
challenging circumstances.
Turbidity measurements are carried out by analysis of light scattered at 90° to the
incident light (nephelometric measurement) at levels below 40 NTU. Above 40 NTU
the recommendation is to measure also at 180° to ‘compensate’ the 90° readings.
QuadoptiX technology uses two independent sources and two independent
detectors to provide effectively two entirely autonomous measurement systems in
the same instrument, allowing dual validation of all results for greater accuracy.
