serum is mixed with a substance that will bind to haptoglobin. The amount of bound haptoglobin is measured using a rate nephelometer, which measures the amount of light scattered by the bound haptoglobin

What is the difference between turbidimetry and nephelometry?

Chemical analysis based on the phenomenon whereby light, passing through a medium with dispersed particles of a different refractive index from that of the medium, is attenuated in intensity by scattering.In turbidimetry, the intensity of light transmitted through the medium, the unscattered light, is measured.In nephelometry, the intensity of the scattered light is measured, usually, but not necessarily, at right angles to the incident light beam.
