A hyperspectral VIS sensor, like the TriOS VIPER, measures water quality by analysing the light attenuation and transmission between 360–750 nm. This enables precise, real-time detection of colour, organic compounds, and spectral absorption coefficients (SAC) crucial parameters for ensuring drinking water safety, environmental monitoring, and process control. Unlike single-parameter sensors, VIPER provides full-spectrum data across multiple wavelengths, utilising advanced LED technology. It requires no reagents or sampling, making it ideal for automated, low-maintenance deployments. If you're monitoring water colour, SAC, or actual Pt-Co values, the VIPER is the best choice for accuracy and reliability.
