TechTalk: New approaches to high-sensitivity Pt-Co, APHA color measurement

Friday, July 17 at 15:30 BST | 16:30 CEST | 10:30 EDT | 07:30 PDT

Accurate color measurement at low Platinum-Cobalt (Pt‑Co), APHA, and Hazen levels remains a critical challenge for many laboratories. As demand grows for greater sensitivity, repeatability, and regulatory confidence, advanced instrumentation is essential to support robust quality control and reproducible results.

Join this SelectScience® TechTalk, held in partnership with Lovibond®, to discover how the new Lovibond ICx is setting a new benchmark in Pt-Co color analysis. Designed specifically for laboratories requiring high-accuracy spectrophotometric measurement, the ICx delivers enhanced sensitivity at low color values, improved repeatability, and streamlined workflows.

In this TechTalk, you will learn how to:

  • Achieve more precise and reproducible Pt-Co measurements, even at low levels
  • Reduce variability and improve data reliability for quality control
  • Simplify laboratory workflows with user-friendly, efficient instrumentation
  • Strengthen confidence in your APHA, Hazen, and Pt-Co color analysis

Whether you are working in water quality testing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or food and beverage, discover how the Lovibond ICx can help you enhance performance, ensure compliance, and drive consistency across your color measurement processes.
