The Smart Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor can be used to investigate a range of diverse scientific experiments:


  • Photosynthesis investigations – monitor changes in pigments or products of photosynthesis.
  • Respiration experiments – investigate changes associated with cellular respiration.
  • Water quality testing – measure turbidity before and after filtration or treatment.
  • Water pollution studies – compare turbidity and colour in samples from different locations.
  • Soil run-off investigations – measure suspended particles in water following rainfall.
  • Coagulation and flocculation – investigate how effectively treatment chemicals remove suspended particles from water.
  • Sedimentation studies – measure how quickly suspended particles settle out of water.
  • Food and beverage analysis – investigate colour changes during processing or storage.
  • Milk and dairy investigations – study turbidity changes associated with dilution, precipitation, or microbial growth.
  • Fermentation experiments – monitor microbial growth during yeast or bacterial fermentation.
  • Oxidation–reduction reactions – follow colour changes as reactants are oxidised or reduced.
  • Photochemical reactions – investigate how light affects the rate of a colour-producing reaction.
  • Drug or pharmaceutical analysis – determine concentrations of coloured compounds in controlled laboratory investigations.
  • Vitamin C investigations – measure changes in colour during reactions involving ascorbic acid.
  • Antioxidant investigations – compare the reducing/antioxidant capacity of different samples.
  • Dye degradation – investigate how light, chemicals, or microorganisms break down coloured dyes.
  • Water disinfection studies – investigate changes in water quality following different treatment methods.
  • Aquatic ecosystem studies – monitor changes in water clarity associated with algal or plankton growth.
  • Industrial wastewater investigations – compare turbidity before and after treatment.
  • Environmental monitoring – track changes in water colour and turbidity over time at different sampling sites.


Example Data:


1. Demonstrating Turbidity Development: Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid, monitored using the   

   turbidity function. The reaction produces a deposit that develops in time   



2. Demonstrating Reaction Rates: Sodium thiosulphate (variable) and hydrochloric acid Reaction, monitored     using the colorimeter 



3. Storm surge turbidity measured days following the event  



4. Variation of Chlorophyll concentration as it is added to a reaction cuvette
