Photometric Analysis

Photometric analysis determines the concentration of a target element or compound by measuring how much light a treated solution absorbs. It is a dependable method for specific analytes where a color-forming reaction gives accurate, repeatable results. Luvak uses photometric methods to quantify elements best measured this way, reporting to customers methods and limits.

Photometric analysis complements our spectroscopy and wet chemistry, covering analytes where it is the most reliable approach.
