Description
The Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor PS-3215A simultaneously measures the absorbance and transmittance of six different wavelengths. Each wavelength represents a region of the ROYGBIV color wheel and can be displayed graphically using PASCO software. The sensor can be used to study Beer's Law (absorbance vs. concentration), enzyme activity, photosynthesis, and the rates of chemical reactions (absorbance vs. time).
The colorimeter can be used to study concentrations of solutions, the rates of chemical reactions, and more. The Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor PASCO PS-3215A is also resistant to splashes and spills, ensuring years of use in labs. It was also designed to draw minimal amounts of power which give it a long battery life and reduces how often it needs to be recharged. Calibration is also fast and easy, eliminating wasted time duringlab activity.
This sensor functions as a high-quality turbidimeter for the study of water quality. Rather than simply measure transmitted light, the Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor uses the industry-standard method of using light scattered by a sample at 90 degrees resulting in more accurate and repeatable measurements. In addition, the internal housing of the cuvette is opaque, which limits ambient light and assure data accuracy.
With the wireless, rugged design, this instrument is ideal for use in the field as well as in the lab.
Full compatibility details are available, including compatibility information for older computing devices.
