Nephelometer

Nephelometers are instruments that are used to measure the degree of turbidity of liquids and gases. They are based on the principle of light scattering, which can be used to determine the number of particles in a liquid or gas.

Nephelometry is an analysis method that allows the concentration of particles in a solution or gas to be determined using light scattering. This method is based on the fact that light is scattered by particles in a solution, which can be measured using a nephelometer.

Nephelometers can be used to analyze various types of solutions, including water, salt, acid and base solutions, and to determine the concentration of particles in the air. They are widely used in scientific research, industry and medicine.

**Nephelometry** is a method for studying the mutual influence of two substances, which are a suspension of one substance in another, or a mixture of them. Typically used in the analysis of colloidal systems and highly dilute solutions of low molecular weight compounds.

It also allows you to monitor the vital activity of microorganisms and evaluate the effectiveness of inactivation of harmful substances. Due to the fact that microorganisms leave an unidentified sediment at the site of their activity, and bactericidal chemicals in “usual” concentrations change the properties of colored particles or lose the ability to form colored sediments. Such microorganisms cannot be identified by traditional methods (for example, microscopy). Nephelometry is widely used in medicine to determine the antibacterial sensitivity of microorganisms that are classified as pathogens. These studies provide insight into how and with what substances pathogenic microbes can be treated. This allows for the development of effective treatment regimens and preventive measures. In general, nephelometric analysis is an important tool in scientific work aimed at understanding the mechanism of action of antibiotics and can be used to detect drug resistance in microorganisms.
