Optical analyzers turn light into measurements, from color and turbidity to concentration and salinity. Thermal Scientific carries Hach spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and portable turbidimeters for water analysis used within oil and gas operations, including source water monitoring and discharge screening, along with handheld and benchtop refractometers from Reichert and Atago, including salinity refractometers. Choose by measurement, range, and whether you work in the lab or the field.
Calibration matters, so see our turbidity standards and buffers, standards, and calibration solutions. Browse field spectrometers and gas analyzers, or visit our Hach supplier page.
A spectrophotometer measures absorbance across a range of wavelengths, while a colorimeter uses fixed wavelengths for specific tests and is usually simpler and more portable.
