Photosynthesis Rate and Chlorophyll a Fluorescence Measurement

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and microbes manufacture food. They need carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air, which enters the plant through leaves, and water (H2O) from the soil, which roots absorb. Light captured by chlorophyll in the leaves combines water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). Since photosynthesis is a chemical reaction, its levels are monitored by the rate of occurrence. Changes in the levels of its inputs and outputs are used to calculate the photosynthetic rate using various Photosynthesis Systems.

Particle Size Analysis

Particle Size Analysis (PSA) is an analytical technique used to measure the distribution of particle sizes in a sample of solid or liquid particulate material. The particle analyzer operates on the principle of static laser light scattering, providing accurate and reliable measurements.

  • Versatile Measurement Capabilities: PSA can be used for both dry and wet measurements, accommodating a wide range of sample types.
  • Broad Measurement Range: The technique covers a measurement range from 0.01 µm to 5000 µm, making it suitable for analyzing particles of various sizes.
  • High Precision and Accuracy: By utilizing static laser light scattering, PSA ensures precise and consistent results, essential for quality control and research applications.

Some Key Applications:

  • Quality Control: Ensures the consistency and quality of particulate materials in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food production.
  • Research and Development: Provides valuable data for the development of new materials and products, aiding in the optimization of formulations and processes.
  • Environmental Monitoring: Assists in the analysis of particulate matter in environmental samples, contributing to pollution control and regulatory compliance.

Particle Size Analysis is a crucial tool for understanding the properties and behavior of particulate materials, offering insights that drive innovation and ensure product quality.

Microbiological Analysis

Microbiological analysis employs biological, biochemical, molecular, or chemical methods to detect, identify, and enumerate microorganisms in various materials. This technique is crucial for identifying spoilage and disease-causing microorganisms, ensuring the safety and quality of products, including drinking water.

  • Detection and Identification: Identifies a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, that may cause contamination, intoxication, and disease.
  • Enumeration: Quantifies the number of microorganisms present in a sample, providing essential data for quality control and safety assessments.
  • Spoilage and Pathogen Monitoring: Monitors the proliferation of spoilage organisms and pathogens, helping to prevent foodborne illnesses, product spoilage, and contamination of drinking water.

Microbiological analysis is vital for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and water quality management. By monitoring and controlling the presence of harmful microorganisms, this service ensures the safety, quality, and compliance of products, protecting both consumers and businesses.
