Turbidity is one of the most common and intuitive qualities of water. The first thing we notice about water is how cloudy it is (or isn’t). However, behind the cloudiness lies some important implications. Turbidity can affect everything from how water is disinfected to the quality of our lakes, oceans, and streams. In this guide,…
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a critical waste treatment measurement in everything from municipal systems to food manufacturing waste streams. Performing COD testing the right way is important in determining wastewater treatment effectiveness and can help diagnose any problems in treatment. In this blog, we’ll cover what chemical oxygen demand is, how to test it, and how…
Titration is a chemical analysis technique used in many different industries, from dairy farms to metal plating shops and more. Manual titrations are simple, but they are time-consuming and not always accurate or consistent. Automatic titration methods can ease these pains by providing consistent results in an easier and more efficient way. There are many different automatic titrator options.…
Turbidity of water is an optical property that causes light to be scattered and absorbed, rather than transmitted. The scattering of light that passes through a liquid is primarily caused by suspended solids. The higher the turbidity, the greater the amount of scattered light. Even a very pure fluid will scatter light to a certain…
Sushi rice needs to be kept warmer than room temperature for best results when rolling sushi. However, this can create food safety risks which have caused health departments to crack down on practices around the handling of sushi rice. Most guidelines require that the pH of the sushi rice is maintained below 4.6 (Food Safety Guidelines for…
Are you analysing your wine properly? This video will guide you through the process of measuring pH with the edge pH meter:
The measurement of pH in milk is important in testing for impurities, spoilage, and signs of mastitis infection. While there are a number of factors that affect the composition of milk, pH measurements can help producers understand what might be causing certain compositional changes. pH measurements are commonly performed at various points in a milk…
