SPEC·IMAGINGHandheld colorimetry for turbid samples.
IC-VIS™ combines standard colorimetric analysis with Instant Clarity™ turbidity compensation, for measurements in challenging liquid samples with less sample preparation.
Turbidity in a sample can add its own optical contribution to a colorimetric reading. IC-VIS™ is designed to compensate for that contribution with Instant Clarity™, reducing how often a turbid sample needs to be filtered or pre-treated for optical reasons alone. Sample preparation required by the chemistry of a specific reagent method may still apply.
Prepare the sample and the reagent method.
Insert the cuvette into IC-VIS™.
IC-VIS™ measures and displays the result.
Colorimetric chemistry measures the color response of a reagent. Turbidity can add an unwanted optical contribution on top of that response. IC-VIS™ is designed to compensate for the turbidity contribution, so the chemical response can be measured more reliably in cloudy samples.
IC-VIS™ combines four fixed visible wavelengths with preprogrammed and programmable measurement methods, supporting reagent-based colorimetric methods whose optical response is compatible with these wavelengths — including:
Alongside standard 16 mm round, 13 mm round and 10 mm square cuvettes, IC-VIS™ also accepts a 10 mm square-format cuvette with a shorter 3 mm optical path. The shorter path can help extend the usable measurement range for strongly absorbing or higher-concentration samples on suitable methods — moving a method between path lengths still needs method-specific consideration, not an automatic transfer.
The same QR-code workflow moves data the other way too — export measurement results from IC-VIS™ by QR code, for logging or further use.
Reagent-based wastewater parameters are well established, but the measurement is usually tied to a lab bench — and suspended solids in the sample can bias a colorimetric reading. IC-VIS™ pairs the same established reagent-kit chemistry with a portable measurement and Instant Clarity™ turbidity compensation, with methods loaded by QR code.
IC-VIS™ is battery-powered and handheld, built for measurements at the sampling point rather than a fixed benchtop instrument.
Compensate for turbidity with Instant Clarity™ instead of always having to remove it first.
Use compatible reagent-based colorimetric methods across four fixed wavelengths.
Measure close to where the sample is taken, then move the result on by QR code.
Specifications are indicative and may depend on configuration and method.
