Yes. Olis, Inc. (Bogart, GA) offers the CLARiTY line of spectrophotometers, which are specifically designed to give accurate absorbance readings in highly turbid samples.

How is turbidity of a bacterial culture measured?

The density of the bacterial cells in the liquid suspension. It's an indirect measure of number of cells. Using a spectrophotometer, light is passed through a sample and the light that passes through is measured by a receiver. The idea is that the less light passing through (because of the cloudiness) the more cells there are. The level of turbidity can be called the 'absorbance' or 'optical density (OD)', as measured by a spectrophotometer.


What can measure changes in the turbidity of a bacterial culture?

Changes in the turbidity of a bacterial culture can be measured using a spectrophotometer, which quantifies the amount of light scattered by the culture at specific wavelengths. As bacterial density increases, the culture becomes more turbid, resulting in higher absorbance readings. Additionally, a nephelometer can also be used to measure turbidity by detecting scattered light at specific angles. Both methods provide an indirect assessment of bacterial growth over time.


What is turbid broth?

Turbid broth is a liquid medium used in microbiology that appears cloudy due to the presence of microbial growth. The cloudiness indicates that bacteria or other microorganisms have multiplied within the broth. Turbid broth is often used to culture and study bacteria in laboratory settings.

How do you clearify well water?

It depends what is making it turbid. -Take a sample to a lab for analysis.


Why is a wavelength of 600NM used for turbiditimetry?

A wavelength of 600nm is commonly used for turbidimetry because it falls within the visible range of light and is less prone to interference from color or impurities in the sample. Additionally, 600nm is often near the absorbance peak for many turbid samples, providing optimal sensitivity for measuring turbidity.


What are the meaning of turbid?

turbid means flow of water or any liquid


Turbid is another word for milky?

Turbid is another word for cloudy, milky is kind of vague, but it depends how you look at it.


Why is turbid water not good for fish and plants?

Turbid means muddy or unclear. - If experiencing this on well water, it can basically mean anything that's in the ground. You need a filter, -but first get your water analysed to make sure it's OK to drink, and what is making it turbid.
