Monitoring of bacteria growth, coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation by improved turbidimetric methods

Abstract

New turbidimetric apparatus and methods were developed. Portable, modular double angle light scattering turbidimeter with built-in linear pump enables the user to monitor bacteria growth, coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation processes in standard cultivation or centrifugation cuvettes.
