It’s Friday, so what would you rather have? A clear pilsner or a hazy New-England Indian Pale Ale? Beer turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness seen in a beer, a characteristic that can be influenced by various factors. Turbidity is not a well-defined physical entity like temperature or the density of a liquid, but…

Did you know that the hashtag#Kemtrak oil-in-water analyzer can detect both fluorescence and turbidity at the same time? Detecting and addressing trace oil leaks as quickly as possible is crucial for preventing environmental contamination and ensuring equipment integrity. A leading technology for achieving this goal is UV fluorescence monitoring, which offers the ability to detect…

Iodine (“violet” in ancient Greek) is a non-metallic trace element that got its name from its color when in a liquid or gas phase. Its anti-bacterial properties make it an essential ingredient in wound care products, surgical scrubs, and preoperative skin preparations. Iodine is on WHO’s model list of essential medicines 2023 both as a…

Fun Fact: The European Brewery Convention (EBC), founded in 1947, supports brew-scientific activities across Europe. Its mission is to develop analytical methods that ensure beer quality, maintaining high standards for raw materials and brewing processes Chemical consistency: The color of beer and wort is a crucial parameter for quality control during brewing. To determine the…

Did you know that the Kemtrak sulfuric acid analyzer not only monitors sulfuric acid concentration with high accuracy but also does so over the whole range? Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive, strong mineral acid used in various industrial processes, from fertilizer production to oil refining. It is vital to monitor its concentration and quality…

#5 Weekly Application: Soy Milk Soy milk is a plant-based drink produced by soaking and grinding soybeans, boiling the mixture, and filtering out remaining particulates. It consists of tiny particles (such as proteins, fibers, and other solids) that remain dispersed in the liquid. Monitoring suspended solids in soy milk serves two main purposes: 1. Quality…

Trace measurement of water in alcohols is crucial for various industries, as water affects product quality, safety, stability, process efficiency, and equipment lifetime. Near Infra-Red (NIR) absorption is a popular analytical method for determining water content.
