Light scattering and its application for the clinical laboratory.
Nephelometric systems have enabled precise and rapid quantitation of specific proteins, therapeutic drugs, and other compounds. This paper begins with a discussion of the physics of light scatter and then explores various turbidimetric and nephelometric systems that employ light scatter. A detailed discussion of manual and automated nephelometer-based systems is offered.
