Colorimetric Measurements

Colorimetric measurements involve analyzing the color of a sample by comparing its appearance to a standard or using specialized instruments. This technique detects and quantifies specific substances based on how they absorb or reflect light at certain wavelengths, resulting in a color change. These measurements are precise and useful in fields like chemistry, medicine, and environmental testing to determine the concentration of chemicals or nutrients. Essentially, it’s a way to translate visual color differences into numerical data, enabling accurate and reproducible analysis of a sample's composition.
