noun
- Plural of nephelometry; the measurement of the concentration of suspended particles in a liquid or gas by analyzing the scattering of light.
Usage: technical; scientific; used in chemistry, environmental science, and clinical diagnostics
Examples
- The laboratory performed multiple nephelometries to determine the turbidity of the water samples.
- Nephelometries are commonly used in clinical settings to measure protein levels in blood serum.
- The technician recorded several nephelometries throughout the experiment to track particle concentration changes.
- Advanced nephelometries can detect very small suspended particles in pharmaceutical solutions.
- Environmental monitoring often relies on nephelometries to assess water quality.
