Lovibond® MD50 Colorimeter – Suspended Solids (No Reagents Required)

MD50 Colorimeter – Suspended Solids (No Reagents Required)

The MD50 Suspended Solids is a rugged, single-parameter colorimeter designed for rapid quantification of total suspended solids (TSS) in water samples. Using an attenuated radiation method, it delivers accurate results in under 3 seconds—without the need for reagents. Ideal for wastewater, raw water, and drinking water applications, this instrument combines precision optics with field-ready durability.
