Workshop | Reflective to Refractive - Velocity to Viscosity (JHB)

Description:

Polarimetry, refractive index and viscosity all  are used and applied in quality control, R&D, laboratory techniques and analytics, and so on; but how do they all interlink? 

  • Polarimetry is used to analyze chiral substances and determine their concentration in solutions.
  • Whilst measurement of the refractive index can be used to characterize liquid and solid samples, for example to measure the concentration of solutions. 
  • Then you have viscosity, this measurement is able to determine how thick a fluid is and how easily it flows.

From Reflective to Refractive, from Velocity to Viscosity join us on Wednesday, 29 March from 09h00 to 14h30 for our next in-person lunch and learn session.

Plus receive a goodie bag, snacks on arrival, lunch, attendance certificate and the opportunity to bring one sample per company for a free analysis report on request.
