noun
- A technique for measuring the concentration of particles suspended in a liquid by analyzing the scattering of light passing through the solution.
Usage: technical; used in chemistry, biology, and clinical diagnostics
Examples
- The laboratory used nephelometry to measure the concentration of antibodies in the patient's blood sample.
- Nephelometry is commonly employed in clinical chemistry to detect and quantify proteins and other macromolecules.
- The nephelometry test indicated a high level of suspended particles in the solution.
- Modern automated analyzers rely on nephelometry for rapid immunoassay results.
