About This Product
A Nessler cylinder is filled to a reference mark so that the sample and the comparison solution, or a standard series, stand at the same liquid depth. The two columns are then viewed side by side under the same lighting and the colour, clarity or turbidity is compared. It is used in supervised analytical chemistry practicals rather than for measuring volume. Export supply of the Borosilicate Nessler Cylinder can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Maldives, Nicaragua, Senegal, Peru, Samoa and Zambia.
