It was found that in situ turbidity measured in a scanning transmittance configuration was interchangeable with traditional turbidity measurements using a spectrophotometer.
Turbidity of the resultant NEs given in a nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU) was measured using a turbidimeter (TurbiDirect, Lovibond, U.K). Turbidity measurements were performed on the NEs stored in screw capped sample vials.
A variety of parameters were measured to highlight their findings and included, fibrinogen glycation, clot permeability, turbidity measurements, fibre diameter, visco-elastic properties, lysis rate and effect of fibrinogen glycation on FXIIIa cross-linking.
It also aimed to validate TSS and/or turbidity measurements as proxies to monitor pollutant fluxes.
The first step undertaken was validation of the microheater, using off-line turbidity measurements.
By careful experimental design and turbidity measurements, the optimum conditions for coacervation were obtained.
The photophysical determination of cmt agrees with simple turbidity measurements taken under the same conditions.
The stability of the samples was assessed by visual inspection, UV VIS spectrophotometric turbidity measurements and size exclusion chromatography.
Kinetics of the aggregation behavior was followed using turbidity measurements, light-scattering and atomic force microscopic techniques.
Transmission and scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis and turbidity measurements were used to characterize the Janus particles.
Attaching PNIPAAm rendered the copolymers soluble in aqueous solution showing the thermo-responsibility as evidenced by turbidity measurements.
