A nephelometer [1] or aerosol photometer [2] is an instrument for measuring the concentration of suspended particulates in a liquid or gas colloid. A nephelometer measures suspended particulates by employing a light beam (source beam) and a light detector set to one side (often 90°) of the source beam.
An example of such testing is antibiotic susceptibility testing by measurement of minimum inhibitory concentration which is routinely used in medical microbiology and research. If a suspension used is too heavy or too dilute, an erroneous result (either falsely resistant or falsely susceptible) for any given antimicrobial agent could occur.
Nephelometry is a technique used in immunology to determine the levels of several blood plasma proteins. For example, the total levels of antibodies isotypes or classes: Immunoglobulin M, Immunoglobulin G, and Immunoglobulin A. [1]
Turbid creek water caused by heavy rains. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of both water clarity and water quality. [citation needed] There are two standard units for reporting turbidity: Formazin Nephelometric Units (FNU) from ISO 7027 and Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) from USEPA Method 180.1.
Blood-related parameters are listed in a blood test. Electrocardiograph records the electrical activity of the heart; Glucose meter for obtaining the status of blood sugar. Sphygmomanometer, a blood pressure meter used to determine blood pressure in medicine. See also Category:Blood tests
$3.49 per jar; arrives in stores February 5. Next up are these garlic-and-herb grilled olives. These briny bites would make a delicious addition to a game-day charcuterie or appetizer spread.
The ensuing madness was one of the wilder and weirder stories in NFL lore — part who done it, part high-paid legal drama, part science lesson, part Rorschach test, part character assassination ...
Many point-of-care test systems are realized as easy-to-use membrane-based test strips, often enclosed by a plastic test cassette. [2] This concept often is realized in test systems for detecting pathogens, the most common being COVID-19 rapid tests. Very recently such test systems for rheumatology diagnostics have been developed, too. [12]
