DR4900 Product Showcase: Effortless Accuracy For Today's Lab
In this product showcase, lab experts Scott Tucker and Matt Thompson discuss common challenges and pain points water quality testing labs face with colorimetric analysis today, and how these challenges can impact result accuracy, testing efficiency, and data security.
From Diagnosis To Decision: Four Pillars Of Actionable Pipeline Intelligence
Aging underground networks require actionable intelligence to prioritize maintenance. Combining flexible screening, accurate spatial positioning, and rapid data access helps utilities pinpoint critical defects, reduce operational disruptions, and optimize long-term capital improvement planning.
Putting Pipelines On The Map: How Location Data Strengthens Modern Asset Management Programs
Incomplete pipeline records jeopardize modern utility management. Precise spatial mapping and elevation data protect underground infrastructure, reduce utility strikes during excavation, and enhance digital models to enable targeted, cost-effective infrastructure maintenance.
How To Manage Warm-Season Biological Upsets In Wastewater Lagoons
The rate of biological activity in a treatment lagoon is largely a function of water temperature. Once the water rises above roughly 59 °F (15 °C), metabolic rates increase across the entire microbial and invertebrate community.
Sample Collection And Storage: Protecting Water Quality Results From The Start
Flawless analytical procedures mean little if samples are compromised before testing. Discover how proper container selection, representative collection techniques, and rigorous preservation protocols prevent pre-analysis error to ensure defensible, accurate water quality results.
Spectrophotometry Theory And Practice
Spectrophotometry is one of the foundational analytical techniques used to quantify substances in solution by measuring their absorption of light. Understanding the relationship between electromagnetic radiation, wavelength selection, and absorption behavior is critical for developing accurate analytical methods and generating reliable measurement data.
