Colorimeter

 

Our high-performance **Colorimeter** is a specialized light-sensitive instrument used for measuring the transmittance and absorbance of light passing through a liquid sample. This analytical device is crucial for determining the concentration of a known solute in a solution by applying the Beer-Lambert Law. Engineered with advanced filters and a stable photo-detector, it provides digital readouts with extreme precision, making it an indispensable tool for biochemical and industrial analysis.

Primary Uses

The primary use of a colorimeter is the quantitative estimation of components in a colored solution. It is used for estimating hemoglobin levels in blood, monitoring growth of bacterial cultures, and measuring the concentration of various chemical reagents in industrial processing. It is also utilized for determining the intensity of colors in paints and textiles.

Scientific Significance

A colorimeter is significant for its simplicity and efficiency in routine laboratory testing. Unlike complex spectrophotometers, it offers a cost-effective solution for rapid analysis without compromising on accuracy. It allows laboratories to maintain quality standards by providing repeatable data for color-based assays and concentration monitoring.

Wide Applications

Extensively applied in clinical pathology labs for blood chemistry, environmental monitoring for water pollutants (like chlorine or phosphate), and in the food industry for verifying juice quality and sugar content. It is also used in chemical manufacturing to monitor reaction progress based on color changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the standard wavelength range of the Colorimeter?
Our colorimeters typically operate in the range of 400nm to 700nm, utilizing high-quality glass filters to isolate specific wavelengths for accurate readings.
2. Can it be used for determining blood hemoglobin?
Yes, it is widely used in clinical laboratories for hemoglobin estimation and other biochemical tests involving colored reagents.
3. Does the instrument require warm-up time?
For the most stable and precise results, a warm-up time of approximately 5-10 minutes is recommended to allow the light source to stabilize.
4. What is the difference between a colorimeter and a spectrophotometer?
A colorimeter uses filters to measure specific colors, whereas a spectrophotometer uses a prism or grating to scan a continuous range of wavelengths.
