optek's unique modular design makes it possible to adapt high performance photometric and electro-chemical sensors to virtually any process. This flexibility applies to all sensor types making optek sensors suitable for real-time measurements independent of the application, process connection or measuring location.
Our products are categorized in the following groups:
 Turbidity Sensors
Color and Concentration Sensors
UV Absorption, Transmission and Concentration Sensors
pH/ORP and Inline Conductivity Sensors
optek inline process sensors are available in either a flow through design or insertion probes.

| Turbidity Sensors: |
|
 |
| optek inline turbidity meters, lab turbidimeters, and optical density probes can be specified to measure turbidity, haze, clarity, and optical density in units of: FTU, NTU, EBC, OD, PPM, Percent and many others. Common process applications include: Filter performance and filter break monitoring, gas bubble detection, particle content and concentration, total suspended solids (TSS), interface detection, BOD, and leak detection. Specialized applications using probe sensors include: Fermentation, cell culture, cell density, biomass, dissolution, and crystallization. |

| UV Absorption, Transmission and Concentration Sensors: |
|
 |
| optek UV sensors can be effectively applied to a broad range of process applications measuring Ultra-violet absorbance, transmittance, optical density, and chemical concentrations from low parts-per-million (PPM), to high percent-levels. These UV analyzers can be calibrated non-intrusively to NIST-traceable standards. Typical UV applications include: Chromatographic separation, amino acid concentration, protein purification, OD280, TOC, SAC254 and COD (ppb), %T, detecting trace aromatics, organics, and membrane filtration control. |
