51. IntroductionThe Palintest Photometer 7500 Bluetooth is a direct-reading,waterproof photometer for determining key water qualityparameters for drinking water, wastewater and process watersamples. Designed for both portable and laboratory use, thePhotometer 7500 Bluetooth should always be used withgenuine Palintest reagents for optimal performance.The fundamental operating technique applied to thePhotometer 7500 Bluetooth is based on the principles ofoptical absorbance and scattering of visible light.Optical absorbance techniques are based on the use ofPalintest (spectro)photometric reagents, creating visiblecolours with specific analytes upon reaction. The intensity ofcolour produced is measured with the Photometer 7500 andthe data compared to the stored calibration data to deliver thefinal result.Optical scattering techniques produce small particles toscatter the source beam, the amount of scatter providing aresult for the concentration of parameter under test.For more information regarding the science behind bothphotometric and turbidimetric analysis technology please visitwww.palintest.com/know.The Photometer 7500 is provided with programmed methodsfor a comprehensive range of water quality parameters. Uponchoosing a test the instrument automatically selects therequired parameters for accurate analysis includingwavelength and reaction time. Upon completion of the test
