How can Kemtrak help measure Iodine concentration?
Iodine color ranges from yellow to brown defined by specified dilutions of an iodine solution. The Kemtrak Iodine analyzer is specifically designed for real-time, in-line measurement of Iodine color. Unlike traditional analyzers that require frequent recalibration, Kemtrak’s modern technique utilizes LEDs, which are almost monochromatic. By adjusting the current to maintain strength over time, the analyzer remains stable, eliminating the need for recalibration.
