The Kemtrak Photometer TC007 is a high-resolution backscatter photometer that has revolutionized the measurement of suspended solids concentration. Conventional optical meters based on turbidity measurement lack resolution and stop working at suspended solids concentrations around 1% due to their extremely high optical density. This limitation is eliminated in the TC007, and for the first time the operator can monitor and fully control the process. Knowing exactly what is happening at any given time, changes to the process can be made quickly, resulting in significant cost savings

The Kemtrak TC007 is an easy-to-use industrial flow-through fiber optic turbidimeter designed to accurately measure the concentration of light scattering components. Measurements are made in real time in production processes.

Long life LED solid state lamps and precision fiber optics are used to provide bias-free and noise-free measurements with very high accuracy.

The Kemtrak TC007 can be configured to use the nephelometric method of turbidity measurement in accordance with the international standard ISO7027. In this mode, a proprietary algorithm mathematically combines the ratio of attenuated and scattered light to accurately monitor sample turbidity. Automatic compensation for sample color and optical window contamination ensures smooth operation.

Maintenance-free measuring cells with scratch-resistant sapphire windows have no electronics or moving parts, making the device suitable for use in hazardous production areas. Used in / for:

• Filtration monitoring
• Centrifuge control
• Cell and biomass density
• Crystallization control
• Phase separation
