Photometers
Photometers are pre-set instruments with programs for dozens of parameters. This removes any interpretation of results and the accompanying loss of accuracy this inevitably entails. In addition some models can have additional parameter programs added by the user and can also be connected to a computer, allowing data logging of results.
Photometers are the best method for determining metal concentrations.
- High initial capital outlay
- Mid-range replacement reagent costs
- Consistant, reliable results
