What is a Spectrophotometer?

A spectrophotometer is an instrument that measures how much light is absorbed by a water sample as light passes through it.

After adding chemical reagents to a water sample, those reagents react with analyte(s) to form a color complex. Spectrophotometers then use internal calibrations to equate that color to the concentration of the parameter being measured.

Spectrophotometry is one of the most common and useful methods of quantitative analysis of many water parameters in various industrial and municipal applications.
